Classic Shell: Forum

I know this is a picky item but I think people may agree with this suggestion. The Win+X menu is sometimes helpful, I know using Classic Shell gives us all of those items the old way, but if you check this box to view this menu when you right click, then you lose the Classic Shell menu. So you cant shut down Classic Shell in this case. You have to shut it down via the Task Manager or Services. On the Controls tab it would seem that one all of these should include the Win+X menu as well as the Windows Start menu. That way we could, for example, have the Windows Key open the Windows Start Menu and maybe Shift+Win to open the Win+X menu.

When you make right-click open the Win+X menu, then Shift+right-click will open the Classic Shell menu.

Thank you but that is not said anywhere. Still think my option makes it clear and gives us the choice

In case of keyboard, Win+X is the hotkey to open the Win+X menu

For mouse, you can use Shift+right click to access either the Classic Shell context menu or the Win+X menu.

To exit Classic Start Menu, another way is to run this command:
"C:\Program Files\Classic Shell\ClassicStartMenu.exe" -exit

I am a Windows enthusiast and helped a little with Classic Shell's testing and usability/UX feedback.

A little off topic.

That Win+x menu is very handy.
I have a shortcut link on it, to start Classic Shell Menu.
Always using it, after exiting CSM for a skin mod change.
Very easy to add and remove shortcuts. If only it could do flyout menus.
A developer for Winaero says that function can't be changed, as MS has it hard coded.
