Forgot the link to Winaero Tweaker: http://winaero.com/blog/the-list-of-winaero-tweaker-features/ It's pretty impressive the number of tweaks it can do - especially the ones that are applicable to Windows 10, 8 and 7.

Everyone is staying on Windows 7 or 8. Also there is Winaero Tweaker which is the new "Ultimate" tweaker.

Also, may I recommend Winaero Tweaker. It's better than Ultimate Windows Tweaker: http://winaero.com/comment.php?comment.news.1836

Oh not this shit again! Every time someone says XP was 2000 with a skin, I want to point him to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Features_new_to_Windows_XP Windows XP was a huge leap ahead, probably not as many things revised as NT6.0 aka Vista but the user experience of XP was much better than...

Windows key+ type to find whatever doesn't work reliably on the Start screen. It doesn't find Control panel keywords unless you use Win+W (it only finds settings if you type their description, not by its keywords). It doesn't find file metadata and contents unless you use Win+F. It doesn't...

Actually Classic Shell has more functionality than StartIsBack since version 4 (see this comparison for yourself), is identical to the Windows 7 menu too (since version 4 again when they added a new authentic Windows 7 style) and now has no service either. They got rid of the service too in v4...

There's the excellent and free allSnap which will let you do this: http://ivanheckman.com/allsnap/ Very tiny and compact tool.

That again is an inaccurate way to put it. Microsoft is under no obligation to provide support for Classic Shell related issues, but that does not make the Windows installation unsupported. They are still under obligation to provide support for Windows 8 even if Classic Shell is installed...

Just to clarify something....installing Classic Shell doesn't make anything unsupported. It's not a hack or anything, it uses proper documented programming interfaces. I can speak for Classic Shell as I was part of its team. It does hook into Explorer.exe but that's about it. It is just a...

Btw note that Classic Shell is just a regular desktop program like Firefox or WinRAR. It doesn't modify Windows settings or system files in any way. It just loads a Start Menu process which you can exit by right clicking the button. Windows 8.1 is unstable as it's a preview, not released yet, so...

No offense taken, feedback is appreciated.;) Square or rounded corners depends on the skin. You can change the skin. Here's a screenshot of a skin with rounded corners and the settings UI is also made way easier in the next version to make it easy to change settings...

Actually the reason I asked is bcoz I am on the Classic Shell team and I admit it doesn't look authentic like the Windows 7 menu. :biggrin: We are correcting that issue with version 4.0 which is in beta at the moment. Here's a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/z7L6Jb9.png

Btw, berryracer, what did you not like about Classic Shell's menu if I may ask? :)
