You are not lying. I was not happy with the lack of start menu in 8. However, windows promised to bring it back in 8.1 and wow did they disappoint. It was then that I ran out and found classic she'll, and I was glad I did. Mostly because when Windows 10 was released, the start menu was equally disap...

Yeah, I found your source code from many moons ago. http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/45430/Classic-Shell. Looks like IShellDispatch::ShutdownWindows() was definitely the correct code. Gaurav - I do use the event trackers, but thank you so darn much for that ShutdownGuard app. I'll definitely chec...

I looked on the dev site and couldn't find the specific API. Do you have a link to the API that calls the Shutdown dialog box, or perhaps the API name, so I can look it up?

How does it currently call the event tracker? Is it not possible to simply call the event tracker the same way but with a different command. Can you let me know how it currently calls the shutdown event tracker dialog box?

It may not sound useful to you, but Windows Server 2003 and up all follow the same principal for Restart and Shutdown. Both, by default, bring up the Shutdown Event Tracker. The difference being that when you restart, it defaults the setting to "Reboot" and when you shutdown, the default s...

I love the info. Thank you so much for all your help. Let me first start by answering your question. I am using the Windows 7 theme in Classic Shell. Let me then let you know why I submitted my query. The other day, I was working remotely on a production Hyper-V server in my datacenter. I went to Lo...

Yes, I believe I already mentioned that above. My main question was 2 fold. 1. Can there be a setting to launch the Shutdown dialog on a restart. 2. Can it be setup to simply follow the current machines local policy by default. So if it is a server machine, the server shutdown tracker is turned on b...

Well, I can use command line and even run a shutdown /i to give me the Shutdown Tracker GUI, but I cannot use the restart command on the Classic Shell menu. I see the option in the manu for having the main button open the event tracker. It would just be nice for the Classic Shell to follow what the ...

I really like Classic Shell. I pretty much install it on every Windows 8, 10, 2012, and 2012 r2 machine. However, it doesn't follow the Shutdown Event Tracker for the systems. If I push a GPO that enforces the Shutdown Event Tracker, then the Classic Shell doesn't follow these rules. I can set the C...
