Finally, success!
When I got you last email/reply, I checked whether the Classic Shell executable was being run as "Administrator." While it didn't appear to me to be in that state, I decided to, once again, run your utility to completely remove Classic Shell, and all of the associated files. Additionally, I ran several Registry checkers, including CCleaner. It found more stuff, and I got rid of that too.
Then I rebooted, again, and re-installed Classic Shell in the non-Adminstrator (so named) user; note, however, that this other user is also marked as being an administrator, just not "THE" Administrator.
As usual, the installation went fine, and indeed, the Classic Shell configuration came up when I clicked on the Start button. Once set, the Start button opens Classic Shell each time!
Next, I rebooted, and logged in as "The" Administrator user, and again, Classic Shell opened without difficulty!
I don't know what happened originally, but it is all working now.
Thanks for your guidance - and that special Utility!
