I have Classic Shell 4.1.0 installed on two Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) computers. One is a laptop, which I have had for a couple of years. The second is a desktop that I just had built.
There appears to be a big difference in what is seen when I open Explorer, and also when I create a shortcut. Perhaps someone can help me sort this out.
I have two attachments. The first, CshellFootLaptop.gif shows the difference on what I believe is called the Status row (at the bottom of the screen). The top picture is from my laptop, and is what Classic Shell shows on your webpage, and is what I want. The bottom picutre is from my desktop. Note that all you see is an icon. I have double checked my Classic Shell Explorer settings, and they appear to be identical.
Any idea what is causing this and how I fix it?
The second may not be related to Classic Shell, but since that is what I am using to create my shortcuts, I thought I would ask. See the second attachment, CshellScut.gif. [I may not be using the correct terminology below, so forgive me]
Screen shot #1 shows that I have selected C:\Users\Valued Client (my primary User account) and then Send to Desktop (create shortcut). The result is screen #2. Valued Client has opened, and all of it's subfolders are listed under Valued Client in the Folder section (the left one) . These two screen shots were taken from my laptop, and are exactly what I want to see when I open via the shortcut.
Now look at screen shots #3 and #4. These are from my desktop. in #3 I have selected C:\Users\HMW (my primary User account on the desktop) and then Send to Desktop; just as before. However the result is quite different. Although C:\Users\HMW appears on the command line at the top (as underlined in red). Local Disk (C:) is all that appears in the folder section, and the contents of C:\Users\HMW only show in the section on the right.
Again, any idea what is causing this and how I fix it? I want my desktop to match my laptop.
