Classic Shell: Forum

Hi,

First of all i want to thank all the developers for this project! _O_ _O_
Iam using it since the beginning, and its much needed in my life!
Every colleague or friend who probably knows me, knows that am using this because of me telling of it haha!
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-


Unfortunatly i've encountered a weird problem.
When my cursor is in the lower left corner in the screen, below the startbutton, and i click, the much hated startmenu comes in sight. (cursor all the way in the corner)
However, when iam clicking on the metro logo in the center, it gives me the classic retro menu
So, everytime when iam 'shooting' my mouse in the corner to get to the startmenu, i see the original one

Iam using windows 8 x64 (6.2 build 9200)
I've checked all the settings, those should be fine i guess..It might be some conflict though...

Active corners=disabled (these shouldnt cause the problem but however..)
tab 'controls' ive setted everthing to 'classic start menu'.

Any idea's ?

When you say "the much hated startmenu", do you mean the Metro start screen or some other start menu?

Try this: http://winaero.com/comment.php?comment.news.103

I can't repro the issue. It means the bottom left hot corner isn't getting disabled. Have you any other Start Menu or Metro "fixing" software installed? The two can conflict.

i mean the original vista startmenu:



And it only appears when iam totally in the left bottom corner of the screen.. really weird..
When i click on the start logo the normal menu appears




Too bad!

as you can see int he screenshot ive got the original quicklaunch toolbar as well.
its not software, but a hidden folder somehwere in your profile

Ive removed it, but ended up the same

Ive also tried reinstalling th whole app, making sure every tmp files got removed, but ended up the same way

sounds like you have another start menu program installed, that is opening there

fresh win8 install with CS

From the screenshot, it is obvious that it is Start8, not the "original" Start Menu. There is no original Start Menu in Windows 8. Classic Shell is not supported along with other Start menu products installed. To make it stop appearing in the bottom left corner, either disable the conflicting Start Menu from the Task Manager's Startup tab or uninstall it. Using multiple Start Menu products can create problems and unexpected behavior.
