I have two issues with the 7 control panel that Classic Shell might be able to fix:
1) Switching to small icons, which is similar to the classic list view, sorts the icons
alphabetically from left to right and not up and down as in the classic list view.
2) After switching to small or large icons the control panel will always revert to the
original grouped setting, unlike in Windows XP where it remembered the view.
Update: I noticed that the control panel already keeps its setting when started from the start menu, but it does not so when started from out of the explorer. Can this be fixed?

What do you mean from out of Explorer? Type control.exe from cmd prompt or Start Run, set it to Large or Small icons and close. It should save that view when you open it again. It does for me.
So it does for me when I access it from the classic start menu. But if you open the control panel any other way, e.g. from the navigation panel of the explorer or the styles window or from somewhere else, the options are not saved. Maybe Classic Shell could fix that bug!
