I make changes to the start menu via Start Menu Setting and cannot reach the OK button to save the changes. It is located under my task bar at the bottom of the screen. Classic Shell does not let me resize the window to allow access to all of the items within its window. How do you resize Classic Shell customization windows?

Im assuming you have an extremely low resolution/dpi setting.. What version of windows do you have?

Usually you can right click your desktop, and select resolution/screen/display properties ect, and adjust the resolution/dpi from there

I have Win 10 and if I made the resolution any finer, I would not be able to read it on the 11 inch screen.

If you are having difficulties, you can always revert back after you save the settings in classic shell?
Alternatively, the [Enter] key can be used in-place of physically hitting the button

1. Ctrl+Enter saves any changes in the Settings window of Classic Shell and closes it. Ctrl+Enter is the same as pressing OK regardless of which tab of the Settings you are on. Esc closes the Settings window so Esc is the same as pressing Cancel.

2. You can move the Settings window by using keyboard arrow keys, so the OK and Cancel buttons come into view. To do that, press Alt+Space -> Move and then use arrow keys.

3. Make sure you are using your native resolution if you are using an LCD. If your Windows DPI setting is higher than 100%, you can try making it smaller but increasing ONLY the Start menu's DPI. Classic Start Menu provides it own setting called "Override DPI" on the Menu Look tab.
