I see. You're right. I can probably live with it being set at 100 -- if I can't bring up the context menu, then I can keep right-clicking until I see it. Though I rather not have this problem to begin with like in ver 3.x. Access to the Start Menu settings is easy; it's the ability to access Start M...

I found a new bug that didn't exist in versions prior to 4.0.0: I always set my Hover delay to 0 , but noticed that I can't right-click the start button to bring up the Classic Start Menu context menu. All it does whenever right-clicking is flash the start menu. After a few trial and errors, I found...

I found a better solution: remove the built in ProgramsMenu altogether and create my own folders with those existing shortcuts in them. I now have two folders: Admin and Apps. My menu is now more efficient as I only have to deal with one level of cascading sub-menus for each! Edit: looks like we bot...

I'm facing the same "problem" with Administrative Tools being present with Classic Start Menu. Unfortunately, it exists within the ProgramsMenu, so I'm not sure it's even possible to hide. In truth I don't really need to hide the folder, but to rename it to something shorter like "Adm...

I found the solution without needing to reimage (but I'm going to do so anyway for other reasons)! When I checked CCleaner I didn't notice anything unusual, but then I remember that running CCleaner as admin usually reveals more options. The Classic Shell DLLs had been disabled in the startup, but o...

Rats. I don't use System Restore. I was hoping it wouldn't come to that as my last disk image is a bit behind after some software & setting tweaks that I forgot all the details about and should've documented :( One more thing before we end this thread: how is it possible that Classic Shell autom...

I really hope it's simply a misconfigured or conflicted setting, but here are both of them. ----- Other things possibly relevant: 1) When I installed Classic Shell, I right-clicked on the installer and selected 'Run as administrator'. Would that have mattered since my main account is a standard user...

Yes, all other features have been working. I always disable the breadcrumbs - no problems there. Interesting discovery: I access Internet Explorer options in the Control Panel and found 2 Classic Shell add-ons in the "new" status, so I enabled both of them, log off/on, still no luck.

One other thing I forgot to mention: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run --> other than ClassicStartMenu.exe, could there be something else that's missing like ClassicExplorerSettings.exe ?

Thanks for the super fast reply. Yes, I've also read the FAQ (edited my previous post in between :)), but I don't quite understand it. No matter the scenario, it no longer invokes the Classic Shell dialog like it used to. It previously never failed before the CCleaner incident. Surely if the folder ...

On my Windows 7 x64 system I used to be able to get Classic Shell's replace file conflict dialog working. It no longer displays each time I test Windows Explorer by creating a blank file with the same name and attempting to move it to another location with the same-named file. It's a simple, common ...
