Default Re: Windows 8.1

I have this installed on my Windows 7 machine and like it very much.

I have it set up to look like the XP mode start menu with cascaded menus, not the nasty "search for programs" thing W7 comes with!.

I have also used their explorer replacement and like it a lot better than Windows 7s one.

Classic Shell is also available for windows 8 according to their website.

The basic model is free, funded by donations I think.

Worth a look IMHO, especially if you hate the Windows 8 "start screen" or Windows 7 "type programme name to locate it" method.

Anyone who "hates" the windows 8 start screen doesn't have to use it with 8.1 but even with win 8 the start screen issue could be dealt with simply by pressing the windows key. I expected to not like win8 because I read all the wailing and whining about how it looked but even with the minor "annoyance" of having to press one key to get to desktop I wouldn't go back to XP after having used win8 now for a month.

The question would be does "classic shell" address the problems the game ( and the development programs we use ) had with win7 ( since this is the games forum )........ unlikely as it's just window dressing. ( pun intended...)
