You already get the choice to install the components you want and not install the ones you don't want as the screenshot shows. You can click the button with the arrow and choose "Entire feature will be unavailable". Then that module won't be installed.
When you update Classic Shell, you will have to deselect the components you don't want again.
Or you can also install all 4 modules but disable them. Here's how to disable each of them:
- For the Start Menu, you can go to the General Behavior tab and uncheck "Start automatically for this user"
- For Classic Explorer or Classic IE, go to Internet Options Control Panel -> Programs tab -> Manage Add-ons. Disable all the icons related to Classic Shell.
Then even if you accidentally forget to uncheck these in the installer, they will remain disabled when you update Classic Shell.
Thanks for the super quick response! As quick as the program.
Sorry, I should say selective uninstall then. Right now if you uninstall it's an all-or-nothing approach - you remove all 3 at once; I went to uninstall to try to uninstall Classic IE/Explorer but it uninstalled everything.
Is there a way to disable Classic Explorer but not Classic IE, or vice-versa?
I actually looked at the help file to see if one could disable each module but couldn't find anything. If it's already in the help file it could be made more prominent (maybe it's own section)
