| Pin to Start pins them to the Start screen. You will need to drag and drop them to the area or paste shortcuts in %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu. If you want to add Pin to Classic Start Menu item to the context menu, follow the tutorial here: http://www.classicshell.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f... |

| Maybe the list got cleared? Check if "Show recent programs" is checked on General Behavior tab in Settings. You will need to run programs at least once before they appear in the MRU list of programs. Do programs not appear even after running them once? A screenshot would make things clear. |

| Note: 'Pin to Start Menu' is already built-in for Classic Shell 4.0 and later to pin EXE files and shortcuts. You do not really need to add this registry tweak for those versions for every day pinning of programs and shortcuts. However, this can be useful for users who are still using Classic Shell... |

| Are you organizing/moving files from the network? Windows 7/8 still create the Thumbs.db file on network paths and it may be locking the folders. You can also use the free tool Unlocker to see what is locking the file but beware of forcibly unlocking it using Unlocker, that is not safe to do always. |

| This is because Classic Start Menu searches Program shortcuts as well as all the EXEs in your system path. If you don't want path to be searched, go to Search box tab and uncheck the checkbox to search the system path. |
