Don't know if this has been asked before.

Is there a way to set up the Classic Shell software or Windows software so that when I sign in to Windows, the start page opens with the AERO BUTTON already showing in the lower left corner?

A Windows button always shows up when I sign into Windows. Then I go through some procedures every time I sign in to kind of get permission from Windows to open Classic Shell.

It looks like Classic Start Menu is not loading for you reliably at startup. Which version of Windows are you running and which version of Classic Shell? Please download version 4.2.4: http://www.classicshell.net/downloads/latest After installing it, open its settings and make sure the option "Start automatically for this user" is enabled on the General Behavior tab.

If it still does not load for you, go to C:\Program Files\Classic Shell from File Explorer and locate ClassicStartMenu.exe. Select ClassicStartMenu.exe and click Copy. Then immediately go to C:\Users\<your user name folder>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\. Right click in an empty area inside the Startup folder and click "Paste shortcut".

Now the Classic Start Menu should load automatically for you every time you sign in to Windows.
