3- During the installation, the settings menu will be displayed. Note the two sections on the bottom indicating "Basic Settings" or "All Settings".
Basic Settings offer simple changes like changing the appearance. Additional features can be found under the "All Settings" section as below.
Before making any changes, note that it is advisable to make backups before making any changes. Classic Shell offers very deep customizations found in several menus.
The "Backup" setting at the bottom of each tab allows you to export settings to an XML file, restore backups, or reset all settings.
The first tab for both sets of options is for the "Start Menu Style". A window will be displayed that allows you to sleect the first settings by choosing among other things the start menu style you like: classic menu, two-column menu or Windows 7 type menu.
