Possibly the feature to track program usage is turned off (this is a Windows feature, not a Classic Shell feature)
Go to the Start settings in Windows and turn on the setting to show the must used apps. |

Classic Shell simply asks Windows what bitmap to use.
You need to figure out what is the difference between manually setting the picture and running your script. Possibly you can run Process Monitor and see what is written where. |

There are countless of reasons for crashes or freezes. You need to capture a crash dump for me to investigate.
As for the thread count issue, so far there are no clues what is causing it. Somebody suggested it may be related to a particular GPO. He was going to try to narrow it down. |

Run it, then choose the option to manually uninstall. It may ask you to tell it where the installation path was, for example C:\Program Files\Classic Shell.

Oh, right, you are using Windows 7. This setting is not available on Windows 7, because in this case the status bar comes from Explorer.
On Windows 8 and up, Classic Shell creates its own status bar and can use whatever font it wants. But on Windows 7 the font is decided by Explorer. |
