Hi!
First for the obligate thank you: Classic Shell is of such importance to me, i think without it I wouldn't be using Windows anymore!
No joking, and that's especially important to me, because my aged notebook doesn't like linux drivers at all.
So, as Classic Shell obviously is made for making Windows a computer operating system again instead of a merely done app launcher, I think it could be a good idea, to include an option for adding the old school quick launch area in a simple way, instead of having to fiddle around with multiple steps for getting it back.
That combined launching and running task area is just a horrible mess without any logical reason compensating for losing the chance of launching programs by simple and fast intuition instead of having to
search for the right Icon anytime you want to start something really
quick.
This could be done by simply activating a checkbox in CS Options, with the functionality of adding the quick launch link, and additionally setting the link's parameters like: no title, no text, small icons, moving to the most left position and what else is needed to resemble the classic Quick Launch. Maybe it could also remove the default pinned Icons from Taskbar.
This would save some minutes instead of having to bother with these details at each windows installation over and over, and in my opinion is a perfect fit for the meaning of Classic Shell.
Thank you for attention
