Sorry but this is what happened: - I uninstalled Classic Shell and rebooted - I ensured that the Downloads folder and its Favorites shortcut were both there (I had to create the folder manually) - I spent half an hour going through Chrome's downloads list, clicking on items marked "Removed" so that they were re-downloaded - I verified that all those items were actually in the Downloads folder. - One of the items I had reinstated was "ClassicShellSetup_4_0_2.exe" from "http://download1400.mediafire.com/favccmr7hi4g/gf87ivx07fw0kcd/ClassicShellSetup_4_0_2.exe", and I relaunched that and reinstalled the Classic Shell software, choosing no special options. - I checked the Downloads folder and everything had gone. Thank you for the suggestion to check the Recycle Bin, but the items were not in there unfortunately.
I guess I'm now going have to deinstall the Classic Shell software from both my computers, which is a shame because there is just one teeny weeny feature that has really annoyed me in Win7, but I'll have to learn to live with it.
Bye
