| GauravK, thanks for your reply. Within the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" idea, is there any advantage for a Windows 8.1 user to change from Classic Shell 4.2.1 to 4.2.3? As just an example, with 4.2.1 the Windows taskbar loses its opacity every once in a while, sometimes requiring a reb... |

| GauravK, that makes sense. However, when Windows XP support ended, I migrated to the then-latest version -- i.e., Windows 8.1. With a LOT of research, patience and effort, it eventually became reasonably user-friendly -- but not as user-friendly as Windows 2000 or Windows XP. I'll be cautious about ... |

| That is sad! When Windows 10 gets released to manufacturing, should one stay with Windows 8.1? |

| GauravK, thanks for your reply. How unfortunate that in Windows 8+ one cannot customize the color of the title bar text in File (Windows) Explorer! Customization options at Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Personalization are less than in previous versions of Windows, which to me seems like the... |

| In Classic IE, the color of title bar text can be customized. Is that also possible in Classic Explorer? If it is not presently possible, can that feature be added to Classic Explorer? |

Jcee and GauravK, thank you very much for sharing your experience with those products. I’ve made a similar inquiry on the 7+ Taskbar Tweaker forum, and based on the response there and here I think the feature-rich QTTabBars will be the one I try.

| Hello, To add tabbed file browsing to Windows 8.1 32-bit File Explorer on a system that is already using Classic Explorer (plus Classic Start Menu plus Classic IE), is there a preference among QTTabBars, WindowTabs, Clover 3, XYplorer etc.? I'd like to have tabbed file browsing, and of course want t... |

| Hi guys, I'm not familiar with the Classic Shell codebase, but quickly searching for HWND_TOPMOST yielded at least one result which seems to involve the taskbar window: http://i.imgur.com/GlrjrbE.png That's exactly the kind of code that could conflict with the "disable_topmost" option of ... |

| Does your taskbar problem happen if you exit Classic Shell's Start Menu by right clicking the Start button -> Exit? GauravK, thanks for that suggestion. My computer was just restarted, and the "disable_topmost" feature of 7+ Taskbar Tweaker was not working. I then exited Classic Shell's S... |

| Hello, At the suggestion of the developer of 7+ Taskbar Tweaker, I am posting to ask whether Classic Shell involves the "topmost" flag of the taskbar. I use the "disable_topmost" feature of 7+ Taskbar Tweaker, but it does not work consistently, and Classic Shell is the only other... |
