Classic Shell: Forum

Hi, I just begin to test this beta version and it works correctly
In the Windows 8 Skin, can you add the possibility of displaying the Icons for the right panel which contains User, Documents, Pictures ...

Thanks in advance

That is available in the Windows 8 skin in "Classic with two columns" style. Did you try that? Or you prefer the Windows 7 style and want to show right column icons in the Windows 7 style only?

I know it is available in the "Classic with two columns" style...
But, I prefer the Windows 7 Style and if it's possible (because it's not a feature on the Windows 7 standard start menu), I'd like to show right column icons in the Windows 7 style as you perfectly understund

No, it is not supported because you can see the icon when you select each item. Having the same icon in two places will be redundant.

i think he means in place of..., he probably likes some of the features of the w7 style, and dislikes others

Maybe you could add those links to classic shell too.


Would like to see a way to turn on the so called button that Microsoft put into Windows 8.1 as it has some neat features. It has a link directly to Programs and Features and to Device Manager. It's nice to be able to get to those quicker and without having to make three or four clicks. When I installed Classic Shell 3.9 the new icon disappeared. I'd like to see both the new icon and the Classic Shell Icon.


Just starting test of the Beta 3.9.

If you Shift+right-click on the start button you will get that menu. There is also an option in the Controls tab to make it work without Shift.

@Westwindrv, even after installing Classic Shell, you can still right click on the bottom left hot corner (to the left and below the button in the extreme corner) to bring up the Win+X menu which has the links you want. You can also a create a shortcut to: C:\Program Files\Classic Shell\ClassicStartMenu.exe -togglenew to open the Start screen.
