Classic shell is an excellent app. You cannot go wrong with it.

Same here, I can operate it (7) without having to send out a search party to find the things I need to do my simple tasks.

Microsoft has this annoying habit, as does our local supermarket, to move and hide things that everyone has become accustomed to. At the supermarket, I just go to the service desk and ask "Where are you hiding x today" where x is the product that has been in the same isle for ages. Can't do that with MS products though :sad:
Cheers, Claude.

Can't you? I'm no expert with Win 8.1 but doesn't it have a comprehensive search box? There's always Google too.

I had to resort to searching for stuff in these ways while configuring a Win 8.1 laptop for my elderly mother.

I got there in the end but it left a bad taste in my mouth, Windows 8, pronounced 'hate', yuk.

I guess it is just the way I work but with the programs I have pinned to the taskbar and the way I can organize the Start Screen I have the vast, vast majority of the programs I regularly reference either one click or one key press and one click away. If something is not one the first page of the start screen I can just start typing the name and Windows will find it or scroll to the right for other apps pinned to the start screen.

I don't understand why this is so much more difficult and/or time consuming than organize a start menu and clicking through a hierarchy to find a program.
