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.StuartR wrote:I'm sticking to Windows 7 for now then. I think I'll treat Windows 8 the same way I did Vista.
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
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.Claude wrote:StuartR wrote:...Can't do that with MS products though
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.

Re: Oh-oh...it might just be back again...
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.
