Brings back winXP "classic" menu, desktop, etc, for windows 7.

I only install a new version of windows when it stops
stinking. Windows 7 will be installed circa 2018, my health
permitting.

I've been using it from when I first I learned about it after
installing Win 7. It does a good job of simulating the classic folder
look, which was one of my main issues with Win 7. It can't get rid
entirely of the Library and Documents kind of stuff, but at least it
helps. I get less of those annoyances if I open Windows Explorer
with Win-key E than if I open it from the icon on the taskbar.

I can't recall now what it was, but there's a second "classic" option,
that I didn't activate. Maybe it was about the desktop.

Classic Shell has a dual "Start" button approach, switching from the
Win 7 to a simulated classic-type program and shut-down listings, but
this isn't a sticky setting unless there's an update I don't have,
which is annoying because you have to select it every time you want to
use it..

That's right.

Limited to "just" another decade...
