This is the sort of thing it does....It's a program that changes the GUI from the latest available Microsoft edition back to what we had in 2001 or 2009 and in that sense, it's a sort of "Time Machine". Using it, however, won't make you six or fourteen years younger, better looking, more sexually desirable, or richer. But it might accent the changes we've had in Windows during this past fourteen years.
It's a little "buggy" probably because Windows 10 is a 'self-healing' system, and it automatically tries to repair deviations in its systems as those are detected. That may explain why I haven't yet managed to get any results by clicking on that icon in it that says "Start Screen". But clicking other buttons in it probably will give me anything that might be on that anyway, but with fewer visuals.
Do I need this? Not especially. This PC already has the licensed versions of Windows 7 SP1 Home Premium, Windows 8.1, and of course Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview, Build 10074. I think that's sufficient to satisfy my Windows requirements for the moment, don't you? So why did I do this then? Just for the hell of it, to show you what it looks like, because it is nice looking. And now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go back into Control Panel, to Programs and Features, and put Windows 10 back to normal.....
Please Note: If you install and then remove ClassicShell, it requires a reboot to finish the process, and that's not the end of it.... You will also need to go into your own User's-Name\AppData Folder, into both its Local and its Roaming subfolders, to remove a folder in each named ClassicShell. Those have settings and other stuff left behind by that program, and you need to remove these because the Windows Registry settings need to be updated to show these are now completely gone. So please don't neglect that.
If you've looked in your User's-Name folder, and haven't seen any folder there for AppData, that's because it's a "hidden" system folder, and to see it in there you need to go into Control Panel, to File Explorer Options/View Tab and choose to Show hidden files and folders. Now, you'll see it.
