Post subject:  Possible bug in Control Panel link
I recently started using Classic Shell on a fresh install of Windows 10 Build 1511. I am still not completely familiar with this application but I have noticed something that might be a bug. Using the Windows 7 - Windows Aero style start menu, if control panel is added as a "link" to the start menu, whenever I go to Control Panel this way, the view defaults to "Large icons" and no matter how many times I change it to the "Category" view, the setting is not saved and reverts back to Large icons upon closing and relaunching Control Panel. I eventually noticed that if I launch control panel directly, for example by searching in the start menu, it does actually open with view mode set to Category but if I use the link in the start menu and launching from the executable directly, it defaults to Large icon view. Needless to say, I never experienced this issue in Windows 7 and I think the link created by Classic Shell is somehow forcing the view mode to Large icons. Is this a bug in Windows 10 or Classic Shell?

It's not a bug, it's a feature. Check the setting "Use categories view for the Control Panel" in the Main Menu tab to always open it in Category view.

Ouch... thank you for the reply, never saw that option there. :oops:
