| Yes this issue was reported by another user: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=7748 However I don't think it's even on the priority list of things to fix given how awful Windows 10 is and given how busy Ivo is with other tasks and less actively developing Classic Shell. |

I see. I misunderstood because you wrote "however everything is working fine" so I concluded that you used the Classic Shell policies against your recommendation and yet everything is fine except for this issue.  |

You can fix the text of the Shutdown button. Open C:\Program Files\Classic Shell\StartMenuL10N.ini as administrator.
Find the line under en-US (English) that says:
Menu.Shutdown = &Shut Downaaaliiiiiigi
and change it to:
Menu.Shutdown = Sh&ut Down |

It's the button around which there is a red box in the picture above. Unfortunately, it only works if a single item is selected. It doesn't work for multiple files.
But if you use StExBar, it has a button that works for multiple files and adds double quotes too for long paths. |

Classic Shell cannot fix anything in the files pane of Explorer (the one which shows files and folders). It can only do some minor fixes to the navigation pane (the one with only folders).
Are you talking about the folder pane of Explorer or the files pane? Which view of Explorer are you using? |
