Classic Shell: Forum

I had no choice in the matter as I had to get a laptop for my Java Coding class. I hate Windows and the last version of Windows I used for a desktop was 98SE that was on my first home computer. I normally use my version of Linux. Now with the intro's done, I got a new laptop with windows 8 and it took me 30 dam minutes trying to figure out how to shut the dang thing down. Your software made life alittle easier for someone who has no experience in windows. Now I did have an issue with the 3.6.8 version of it hanging on the metro screen even with putting a link into the startup folder so it restarted once windows was loaded. The beta 3.9.3 fixed that for good but there is one bug I am running into and it may not be on your guys end. I found a cool folder color to match my custom theme and had no issues replacing the folder for the programs folder on the main menu but no other folder will change on the start menu and it defaults back to the shell32.dll. Any ides on a work around for it. Selecting another folder does nothing to the folder either from the default.

Not sure what folder color you mean. Depending on the menu item the icon comes either from the shell (and then should match whatever you see in Explorer) or should be customizable from the start menu settings.

I guess I should have been alittle more specific, sorry about that. It is the folders on the start menu after you hit the program button. They use the Shell32.dll icon. I actually can set it to change the folder by left clicking the programs icon then left clicking on a folder then going to properties then custom then changing icon. The problem is even after I change the icon it still defaults back to the original icon and not the one I chose. This could very well be a winbloz issues and not the program.


The actual program folder is customizable but the folders in the menu do not have a setting in the preferences that I could find other than using windows to change the folder in the start menu.
