I'm new to "classic start menu" and have created a stripped down menu. Can anyone advise how to remove the outer area that contains the windows version text (keeping the remainder of the current menu)? I would settle for removing the text, centering the menu and changing the background color.

Thank you, that was easy. Covers 2 of the 3 issues. Can the dark blue background color be changed?

You have few options to change the color. First, you can pick a different skin, like Classic. Second, in the latest version 4.0 you can override the system glass color from the Menu Look tab.

Very good. The classic shell update (ver 3.6.8) does not find ver 4.0.0, can I download 4.0.0 and install it over 3.6.8?

[I assume this occurs because 4.0.0 is a "new release" and updates will only apply to the current version 3.x.x]

I uninstalled ver 3 and installed ver 4, no problems. Previous settings stayed intact.
I've made enough changes to be happy. Good product.
