Problem Solved.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Winaero Ribbon Disabler did the trick.
I use Winaero Tweaker but didn't realize there is a ribbon tweaker too.
Thanks to all the third parties who are helping to keep Windows 10 in its' cage.

Hello - I'm new to this forum. I've been using Classic Shell for several years and am now experiencing a problem with Win 10. Recently installed 10 Prof. on new PC. Classic Explorer settings are ignored. Retains the MS ver. 10 Explorer window. Classic Start Menu works - no problem. Have tried all the suggestions I can find on the forum without success: Changed settings in IE browser, deleted registry entry, uninstalled, (using Classic Shell Utility.exe) and reinstalled Classic Shell, etc. I also have a laptop running Win 10 Prof. After the Win. 10 August Anniversary Update Classic Explorer works fine on the laptop. Running out of ideas. Any help / suggestions are appreciated. |

What Classic Explorer settings are being ignored? Do any of the Classic Explorer features actually work? |

The toolbar currently has the Windows 10 ribbon drop downs with headers: FILE, HOME, SHARE, VIEW, DRIVE TOOLS / MANAGE. I should be seeing FILE, EDIT, VIEW, TOOLS, HELP along with the older, (Win 7) more user friendly drop-down options underneath which are: ORGANIZE, INCLUDE SELECTED FOLDER IN LIBRARY, SHARE WITH, BURN, NEW FOLDER. Other Classic Explorer features seem operational - at least the one's I've tried so far. I also imported Classic Shell settings using the XML backup file I generated from my laptop, (which is working). The XML file didn't change anything on the new desktop PC. Same 'ol, same' ol. Thanks for your interest!! |

Sorry, Classic Shell does not affect the ribbon. You need to look at other tools for that, like search for "ribbon disabler". |
