  • This is better than any Start Menu that Microsoft has ever made. With version 2.90, it is super easy to totally customize every aspect of the Classic Start Menu. I can't believe I can finally make the Start Menu behave exactly how I want! I wish most programs in the world were this well done. It is stable, fast, easy to use and its skinnable too. I usually don't pay for freeware but this one deserves the support of the community. If you use this regularly, please contribute monetarily to the author. I say this because when future versions of Windows come out, I hope Classic Shell is still updated. We all know Microsoft is not going to bring the Classic Start Menu back or a bunch of the Explorer usability features. Classic Shell is a no brainer. I still can't believe the developer is offering this for free... it really is that great.
  • Пускай идут нахер олени использующие станданртный эксплорер, меню пуск и alt+shift всегда их лошил и лошить буду. Thank you for this wonderful program. Respect man
  • Great job! I'm recommending this to all my friends.
  • Not perfect yet, but a very useful project.
  • thanks
  • Sleek and simple; just like XP. Thanks!
  • AWESOME. Shame on MS for removing user control, but mega thanks to you for bringing it back.
  • I could throw together volumes of technopraise poetry or song, but why waste so much time? Press the "Download Now!" - now. This app makes me feel better every time I use my computer. Isn't it time for you to feel better too?
  • works wonderfully, i just wish they added the classic network activity indicator, that could make it an awesome all-in-one solution!
  • I hate Windows 7 because it's uncomfortable, but now I'll try it
  • This thing is great, I love the styles, and it runs perfectly smooth. I would definitely recommend this. I can't stand that bulky monstrosity that we (were) forced to use before =)
  • This program allows one to not only change the start menu in windows 7 to look like like the classic start menu in XP and windows 200 but you can also change all aspects/items and placement of items in said menu. The program is small in file size, easy to use, does its job well and amazingly it's free (very rarely do you get those last 2 together)! Note: Some ini files will need to be edited manually to get the full effect of this program
  • Fantastic tool. Very many thanks to Ivo for his continuing development. Jim.
  • Ahhh, The Monkey on my back is dead. Nice Work!
  • This is the cure for the crippled Windows Explorer of Windows 7 I was looking for. Thank you.
  • Let's you pick & choose which "classic" features you want to use. Great program!!!
  • This little addon has helped many of my customers since I have found it. A lot of my customers that are finding they have to upgrade from XP to vista or 7 and they call me telling me they are lost and don't know how to get anywhere. I have started using this little app for them and it makes life a little easier for them to make the transition. It has even gotten me a couple of jobs into my shop because other people using their computer that feared upgrading for this very reason have chosen to upgrade after seeing this. I wanted the developer to know it has indeed help many of my older customers that don't like change much. ___________ Chuck http://www.myputerdr.com
