I've been using ClassicShell 3 with Win 7 for 5 months. Possibly an MS update has had an effect on CS. Since yesterday, every time I reboot, my StartMenu reverts back to factory settings, with nothing at all in the 2 left side menus. I go back into the CS StartMenu Settings, do nothing but click "OK" and it sets back to my choices resembling Win XP.(he-he) However, the bottom left box stays wonky:

Try uninstalling Classic Shell, reboot, then install again. Your settings will be preserved. |

But it happened again today, and every time I reboot. And I can't get v.4.3.1 to install because I get 4 error messages during installation ::Facepalm:: |

Backup your Settings, use the Utility (http://www.mediafire.com/download/3uker ... tility.exe) to remove and then reinstall. |

I would have to do all my settings over again. I uninstalled with Revo Uninstaller before, so how can this utility be better? |

The utility knows exactly how to uninstall Classic Shell. Revo doesn't. |

I'm skeptical, but I've made screenshots of all my CS settings. I'd rather put CS version 4 in. I'm going to uninstall 3 this weekend, and write down all the error messages I get trying to install 4, and maybe one of you can help me out. (OT--You have no idea how much I hate the UAC in Win 7, and I have it only 7 months. I've had to go through all sorts of contortions to get some programs installed, actually trick the system. It took me 7 months on and off to install a program I need optionally for work. I hope they've fixed it in Win 10. end of OT) |

It worked this time!  The error messages I get when trying to install v. 4, AS ADMINISTRATOR, see 3 screenshots. The first one s actually the last I see. This is probably a Win 7 problem, not a CS problem. I have to do battle with it to install certain programs, even with taking ownership of the Start Menu folder, and the Hidden Admin and/or a reg tweak that turns off UAC temporarily, then reinstates.

Got v.4.3.1 installed. I tricked it by telling it not to create Start Menu shortcuts. |
