    In the Win7 link to a "My Computer" exists by default, but in a
    ClassicShell its missing. Can you add this feature?

    It's way not for a newbies! Every time, after installation of a new version
    this actions must be repeated.
    So, can you add this link to Start Menu by default?

    The start menu is designed to emulate the standard classic menu out of the
    box. That start menu doesn't include "My Computer".

    There are thousands of users of the start menu, each with their own idea what
    the menu should look like. It is simply not possible to include everybody's
    favorite menu by default.

    Well, if Ivo adds the mysettings.ini to Classic Shell 2, then that would fix
    the update problem.

    I thought about it, and decided against it, at least in a sense to make it the
    preferred way to customize the menu.

    The main ini file has comments explaining every setting in detail.
    mysettings.ini will not have those comments.

    Another problem is backwards compatibility. I can't guarantee that the next
    version will work with the old ini files.

    I may still support it somewhat unofficially, assuming you know the pitfalls
    and risks.
