Classic Shell Program

So i thouht id try it but i dont like it so i uninstalled it

BUT

its not 100% gone.

If i press the windows key on my keyboard the classic shell start menu shows up but the normal windows seven start menu shows up ifi click on it.

How can i stop this?

Have you got a recent restore point that you can revert to?

Nope

system restore IMO is a waste of space...

If my PC wont boot or there is some other issue ill fix it as i know how to

In reference to classicshell.sourceforge.net/faq.html#general_what:

What is the right way to uninstall Classic Shell?
To uninstall Classic Shell follow these steps:

1 Stop the start menu if it is installed (right-click on the start button and select �Exit�)
2 Open a new Windows Explorer window
3 Make sure the toolbar is hidden (if you uninstall while the toolbar is visible, the menu bar in Explorer will get stuck in the visible state and you won�t be able to hide it)
4 Close all Windows Explorer windows
5 Open Control Panel -> Programs and Features and double-click on Classic Shell. Then follow the instructions. You may have to restart Windows to complete the process.
6 If you installed any additional skins for the start menu you will have to delete them manually



After I uninstalled Classic Shell I can't hide the menu in Explorer any more. What do I do?
If you missed step 3 from the uninstall instructions and you are having problems with the menu, you have two options:

1 Go to the registry, open the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\ShellBrowser key and delete the ITBar7Layout value as described here: http://qttabbar.sourceforge.net/?p=79
2 Install Classic Shell again and uninstall it following all the instructions

Contradiction much.

Not really

Tanks batboy ill install it again and follow those steps...

"If my PC wont boot or there is some other issue ill fix it as i know how to "

You're the one asking for advice.

Yes.. advice on a program that did not uninstall... when i uninstalled it.

Thanks for posting

System restore is very lightweight in Windows 7, unless your system is really underpowered there is little reason to disable it.
