Put some XP back in 7 and Vista

Classic shell can do what MS didnt.

Published on March 21, 2010 By I.R. Brainiac In Personal Computing

What many pc users didnt like most about Vista was the way MS changed some of the functionality in the UI.(seemingly just to make sure you knew it was different)

Most annoyingly the UP and DELETE buttons were gone and we were left with a non-configurable command bar with a bunch of near useless commands.

A developer at source forge,Ibeltchev,has made a FANTASTIC toolbar addon that fixes a lot of what I hated about the changes.

You can even add the icon and titlebar text back.The status bar sometimes shows more info than the MS info pane.HAH!

TIP:...dont put the up button next to the back/forward buttons...it looks like doodoo...just use the one on the toolbar.

I'm using it on 7 and its made me a happier user. http://sourceforge.net/projects/classicshell/

You need to learn keyboard shortcuts if you don't use them. They will save you weeks of your life.

I could learn them all I want, but if my keyboard in not accessible, whats the point, My Keyboard is under a glass desk with a musical keyboard on top of it, always has been, always will be..

I sit with one hand on my mouse and the other (in my pocket) ..no , under my chin with that elbow firmly planted on my desk.

The thinking man's position one might say.. Only time the KB gets pulled out is when I type.

Keyboard shortcuts are moot to me, and I can almost guarantee I can click my way to doing everything I need just as quick as u can keystroke it.

Peace and love
