Classic Shell cannot fix anything in the files pane of Explorer (the one which shows files and folders). It can only do some minor fixes to the navigation pane (the one with only folders).
Are you talking about the folder pane of Explorer or the files pane? Which view of Explorer are you using? |

To test if Classic Shell is the cause, you can temporarily exit the menu. Right click the Start button and choose Exit or run it with the following switch:
C:\Program Files\Classic Shell\ClassicStartMenu.exe -exit
If your problem persists, then it's not caused by Classic Shell. |
