Hi,
I had changed skins before using Resource Hacker but it was a couple of years ago. I just needed to know what to change. Thanks for your help.
I did quite a lot of things before I got the ReactOS shell to work with everything else so I don't have exact steps. However, if you look at the first post in the thread
http://winclassic.boards.net/thread/177/reactos-taskbar-win10-desktop-classic, download the 3 attachments at the bottom.
Then look on page 6, at a post by clasurol on Jul 12 2018 at 9:11pm. I basically followed those instructions. What it doesn't tell you is that you have to edit StartButton.ahk. I had to change 3 lines:
ButtonPressed = <Path to pressed start button picture>
ButtonDepressed = <Path to depressed start button picture>
Run, <Path to ROS explorer>
so they looked like this:
ButtonPressed = C:\Classic\StartButton
ButtonDepressed = C:\Classic\StartButton
Run, C:\Downloads\Explorer
This of course assumes that StartDepressed.png and StartPressed.png are in C:\Classic\StartButton and C:\Downloads\Explorer contains explorer_old.exe
To answer your questions, I installed it on a VM initially running Windows 10 version 1709. I'm using Classic Shell 4.3.1. I think some earlier versions have problems on Windows 10. I've since updated to Windows 10 version 1803. I have had no problems such as crashing and destroying everything but I haven't used it that much. I would suggest you do as I have have and install it on a system that doesn't matter if it breaks. Plus, of course, using a VM, you can take it back to an earlier version if you have problems.
Hope this helps,

Hi balmforthk.
A few questions for you.
Instead of reading 7 pages of info on ReactOS shell,
Is it safe to use on Win10 operating system without crashing and destroying everything on hard drive?
If it is safe, which version did you download and which versions of CSM and Windows 10 are you using?
