I had classic shell 4.2.4.
I don't know what's happened, the toolbar disappeared in the files explorer.
I uninstall the soft then reboot and intall the version 4.2.5
Settings were checked and found anything wrong.
It's as if classic shell were not installed.
(So, I specify it works for the Start menu)
I tried 4.2.5 and this is the same problem.
I runs 8.1 and till now I never had any problem. I don't understand.
This is very annoying because I have the habit with it and don't want to go back to the original windows settings.
Could you help me please ?
Thank you.

Hi Gaurav,
The step you mentioned is for IE. I don't use it. I have firefox.
So my problem is for the files manager.
See the screen capture showing there is no more classic shell toolbar.

How can I solve this issue ?

The addon toolbar model is shared by Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer so you have to enable the addons using Control Panel -> Internet Options so they become available in File Explorer. That's how Microsoft built it.

Yes I understand but it does not work although the add-on is enabled.

Look in the View tab in the ribbon. There should be an Options button in the far right. Under it there is an arrow. Press it. It should open a menu with the toolbars. Do you see Classic Explorer Bar there? Try turning it on/off few times.
