I wish to have windows 7 start menu with 2 columns in next version please. Currently there is option to classic with two column but not w7 with 2.And an option to show windows programs in icons rather than list will be good addition.

What do you mean about 2 columns? The Windows 7 style always has two columns.
Also not sure what you mean by "show windows programs in icons". A picture would be useful.

I think I understand what adam means.

This is the standard Windows 7 start menu with 2 columns. The left one with programs uses a scroll bar and this is what annoys me the most.



And this is the Classic Shell menu with two columns. Clicking programmi (programs) causes a window to open. This window is large enough to contain all the shortcuts.

Classic Shell already has both styles of the menu. Make sure you download it from www.classicshell.net and not from Sourceforge, otherwise you will get the older 3.6.8 version which does not have the Windows 7 style.

I was just trying to interpret the post of adam.

Your suggestion about the download from www.classicshell.net and not from Sourceforge is very useful.
