What is Classic Shell?

Classic Shell

Classic Shell is a handy program that helps you bring back some features that might have been removed from your operating system. If you’re someone who loves to customize your computer, this tool can give you access to hidden options that make your experience even better.

Features of Classic Shell

This software package comes with a few cool tools:

Classic Explorer: This adds a toolbar to Windows Explorer, changes the copy user interface, and fixes some annoying usability issues.

Start Menu: You can really make this menu your own since it’s highly customizable!

Internet Explorer 9: Customize the title bar and status bar for an improved browsing experience.

Shell Update: It checks for new versions regularly so you stay up-to-date.

Your Favorite Start Menu Style

You can choose how your Start Menu looks! Pick from styles like Windows Classic, Windows XP, or even Vista/Windows 7 mode. It's all about what fits your vibe!

Customize Your Clicks and Menus

You can set different actions for left clicks, Shift+clicks, or even the Windows key. Want to display Favorites as a link or menu? You got it! You can also control how long the menu takes to pop up and even skip the Metro screen if that's not your thing.

A Personal Touch

If you're into aesthetics, Classic Shell lets you change the interface skin and show two columns along with your user picture and name. You can even tweak submenu colors!

Smooth Performance

This app is light on CPU and RAM usage, so it won’t slow down your computer at all. Throughout testing, we didn’t run into any crashes or freezes—just smooth sailing with Classic Shell!
