Oh, I just figured it out. It's in Settings, not the ini file. I didn't realize that I could add a label. Now ... I do!

Thank you, this is much more clear to me now. I tried to change the shortcut for Computer, in the ini file. But ... which entry is it (under US English). I see Control Panel, Printers, Run, Search, etc. but not Computer. Why do I wish to change this shortcut? Because Control Panel is using "c&q...

Thank you. What might be a couple examples of custom menu items, just so I can get the distinction clearly in my mind?

One additional note: When I right-click in the Task Bar and look under Toolbars, my toolbars aren't even there. So I guess another way to ask my question is, "Where could they have "gone"?

Thank you! #1 works, but of course now the name looks funny. I seem to recall an older version of Classic Start Menu, in which these shortcuts could be set in an ini file. But when I look in my language (US English) section of the file, I don't see a way to do it there. So for now at least, I've jus...

Greetings! Before I installed Classic Shell, I had some little popup menus installed on my Task Bar. These proved most convenient. But now, the entire portion of the Task Bar abetween the Start button and the tray icons is covered with a light blue field, in which the icons for running programs appe...

Now that I have learned to make applications appear in the leftmost column of the Start Menu by pinning shortcuts to Classic Start Menu, I have two new questions: 1. How can I choose/control the shortcut for each pinned application (other than first letter or by inserting a made-up first letter)? 2....

Hey, it worked! Thank you!

How do I get the program to populate the left-hand column (classic view) from programs listed in the Start Menu folder? And how do I control the shortcuts for these (other than by changing the first letters via Rename)?

Is there documentation for Classic Shell? For example, if I wish to read about jump lists in Classic Start Menu, where might I look?
