If the main start window doesn't show any apps, you have bigger problems than Classic Shell.
Is it possible you disabled UAC in the registry? Apps don't work without UAC.
UAC is on it's default settings. I'm talking about the Classic shell menu that opens when you click on the Start button. There is an entry for programs and an entry for apps. The Programs one works fine but the Apps one reports the folder as empty. All the apps work fine from the Metro Screen. Even when I choose to show the Apps folder in the Programs menu, it doesn't work. I took that folder out and created a new one called Apps. I then made a shortcut in that folder pointing to the eBay app (ebay://) and it works with a popup prompt to allow the action. Everything was fine in Classic Shell 3.6.8 but not in the 3.9 beta.
I uninstalled 3.9 and reinstalled 3.6.8 and it all worked fine. I then uninstalled 3.6.8 and installed 3.9 and the same problem existed. The Apps folder showed as empty. I am currently running the release version until the new one gets fixed.
