Hi all. I really like this product. My "Shell" start button was accidentally deleted and I can't find out how to get it back.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

try reinstalling, it should keep your other settings

Thanks for the quick reply. I was going to try that but was afraid I may lose my previous settings.

What do you mean "accidentally deleted"? Do you mean it no longer starts up when Windows boots? A Repair installation is the easiest way. If that doesn't work, open Services.msc and see if "Classic Shell Service" is running. If it's disabled, set it to "Automatic". If it still does not start at startup, go to C:\Program Files\Classic Shell and create a shortcut to ClassicStartMenu.exe, put it in your Startup folder at %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

No, the program was still working fine. The start button was removed from the task bar. I did a repair install and all is back to normal. Thanks to everyone for their help.
