Classic Shell: Forum

Jcee with you menu set up can you pin things to the start menu like the control panel and apps ?

Yes, you can do that with both classic shell, and the windows 10 start menu

Jcee good you can do that with both classic shell, and the windows 10 start menu I will try a few looks and tell you what colors or anything I may want ?

Jcee would your start menu be xp ?

Yep, its the Xp/Classic with 2 column style

Jcee how do I pin and unpin using XP ?

Drag an icon to the start button, then move it to the top of the menu Like so:

Jcee I will try it dose this app work for you https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/a ... zdncrdcdnt

No, but this one does: https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9wzdncrdfnzw

Jcee thanks as to Drag an icon to the start button, then move it to the top of the menu Like so: in your screen shot being a disabled person it is hard to Drag an icon to the start button, then move it to the top of the menu so what start menu style would it be easy for me to do ?

You can also right click (which i believe is a long press) then select pin to start (classic shell) however this only works with shortcuts (so make a shortcut to it first if needed)

Jcee can you show me how it works using a screen shot and how to unpin it ?

Here

Jcee are theses for the Apps how about things like programs?

These are for shortcuts You can create a shortcut for anything, a file, folder, app, or program.

Here is how to make a shortcut to your desktop, incase you need to know.

Jcee I think am talking about a different thing unpinning from the list I think I mean

Well you can customize classic shells start menu in any way you want, however it gets quite complicated, if you want to give me a list of all the things you don't want in the menu, i can log on and remove them for you. Itll probably be tomorrow though

Jcee I do not want keep bugging you if it is easier for me to use windows 10 menu ?

If its closer to what you want that's fine

Jcee when will you be free tomorrow ?

Probably in the afternoon, ill post a response in this thread, you do need to give me a list of everything you want in the menu though.

Jcee Probably in the afternoon,what time am in the east USA I want to loggon when you loggon

Jcee from 1PM to 4PM most likely I will leave you a message to log on here on the forum

Jcee first do you want to do teamviewer I want to ask you questions as we do the start menu

Sure, ill get on right now (email the name and password like always)

Jcee I want to go back and fourth between settings if I do it with my xp settings I have will I lose the xp setting ?

What you need to do is create an .xml, the steps are the same as loading one, except select save, and choose a location to save it. I can show a picture if needed in a bit

Jcee yes show a xml picture please

Here ya go

Jcee did it What are the other looks you can do I know their is classic and Windows 10 anything else like is their a Vista look ?

There are at least a hundred different looks/skins for classic shell. You can view them in this classic shell sub-forum: http://www.classicshell.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=17
The windows 7 style is similar to vista, but it can be tweaked further.
When you save an .xml you are saving all of your classic shell settings. so you can mess around without worry now, and if you mess things up, you can just go back to your saved .xml

Jcee I know you said their are looks/skins for classic shell. You
can view them in this classic shell sub-forum:where in the classic shell sub-forum:?

about 80% of the post from the link provided contain skins, you just have to browse through them 1 at a time, if you wish to see them. If you find one you like, I can help you install it.

Jcee am I in the right place on the viewforum.php?f=17 I look here Classic Shell on Windows 10 ?

Yes. You look through the pages there, and then if you decide you like one of the pics, I do my best to set yours up that way if possible.

Jcee I do not think am in the right place on the viewforum.php?f=17 I look here Classic Shell on Windows 10 did not see any hundred different looks/skins for classic shell. can you give me a screen shot of where to look please ?

By clicking these links, you get post with pictures of various looks. You can look through them, and decide if you like any of them, then post a link to the one you like here. Just note, I'm not going to go through each and every one. only a few.


The bottom red outline shows how to switch pages to view more results

Jcee I could not find the links in http://www.classicshell.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=17 ?
