Hello everyone,
Instead of having to click on an internet icon before I can see the Classic Shell button, is it possible to also place it on the WIN7 start screen? Thanks

Hmm, do you mean the WIN8 Start screen?, you can pin any shortcut/file their by right clicking it, and selecting Pin to start

WIN 8. The only icon to right-click on is the start button and there is no option to pin anywhere. Or is it also located elsewhere that I can pin?

Right click your desktop create new shortcut
browse to
navigate to:

C:\Program Files\Classic Shell

or wherever you installed classic shell
select ClassicStartMenu.exe

now type -toggle at the end of this shortcut. If your install directory is program files, it should look like this:

"C:\Program Files\Classic Shell\ClassicStartMenu.exe" -toggle

Press OK

Next right click your newly created shortcut and select
Pin to start

Note that your shortcut will likely be at the far right on the start screen, you can hold your left mouse down on the icon to drag it wherever on the screen you want it
