Is it possible to add an option to run Classic Shell without the resident ClassicStartMenu.exe process? |

Yes, technically it is possible, but makes some scenarios trickier - like handling restart of Explorer. |

I'd like to note that not having Classic Shell autostart whenever explorer starts is actually desirable under certain circumstances - for example, I'm developing Start9 now, so the only time I want Classic Shell to run is when I tell it to  (...yes, there are other cases... ._. ) |

@Splitwirez, You can already have Classic Shell not autostart when Explorer starts by unchecking "Start automatically for this user" on General Behavior tab. Run it manually from C:\Program Files\Classic Shell\ClassicStartMenu.exe. Of course, once it starts, the ClassicStartMenu.exe process will run consuming negligible amount of memory. It only keeps running to automatically launch the menu *if* Explorer restarts or crashes. |

I've never found that that Setting reliably disables it...renaming ClassicStartMenu.exe and ClassicStartMenuDLL.dll to anything other than those names does though
