Hey all,
I followed this tutorial on setting up a classic theme on Windows 10:

It all works decently and I would totally start using it daily, but the right click menu inside the explorer is broken:

Does anyone know what causes this or how to fix this?
Else I really cant use it.

I would suggest taking a look at ExplorerContextMenuTweaker. Here's the download link and how to intall: github.com/rikka0w0/ExplorerContextMenuTweaker/releases
You only need to do this once, after that it will automatically activate every time. Note that when explorer loads, the first time you right click it won't work but starting from the second time it will work consistently.

SimpleClassicTheme: Classic Theme, but simple:
winclassic.boards.net/thread/456/reversibly-enable-disable-classic-simple

makotokino: is there a good post on how to make 7 look and feel like windows 2000? Apr 7, 2021 14:41:35 GMT -8

kamuisuki: I think this winclassic.boards.net/thread/456/reversibly-enable-disable-classic-simple Apr 7, 2021 23:45:21 GMT -8

TechSalt: You can use that, however on 7 to enable the classic theme you can just use the personalization control panel item. Apr 8, 2021 4:52:43 GMT -8

Mina: and as well changing some icons Apr 8, 2021 12:59:07 GMT -8

anixx: You cannot use this on Windows 7. Apr 9, 2021 7:10:57 GMT -8

TechSalt: Has anyone ported the IE6 x64 to 10? There is an x64 IE6 on Windows XP Professional x64 Edition. Apr 9, 2021 7:17:50 GMT -8

Mina: yeah, an os being out of support doesn't mean unusable Apr 11, 2021 14:03:33 GMT -8

TechSalt: Mina Can agree. Still using Windows 10 1903, no problems except i have to disable Windows Update everytime. Apr 11, 2021 21:39:59 GMT -8

anixx: No, you cannot use SCT or ClassicThemeTray in Win7. NO WAY! Only in Win 8.1 or Win 10. Not even in Win 8. Apr 12, 2021 8:39:04 GMT -8

anixx: Simply because there was no such memory handle in Windows 7. You simply cannot do it. Apr 12, 2021 8:40:00 GMT -8

Mina: oh sorry i thought you meant classic theme Apr 12, 2021 12:42:05 GMT -8

Mina: i mistaken it Apr 12, 2021 12:42:12 GMT -8

Mina: TechSalt at least there's a good pause updates option, and yeah, pretty agreeing that the only annoying thing is the darn automatic updates. Apr 12, 2021 12:48:31 GMT -8

TechSalt: Mina Well, i used to use that, but since the pause button expired for me i disable Windows Update now. Apr 12, 2021 21:37:14 GMT -8

ikigai: Does anyone have a way that i can add windows 98 icons to my pc? Apr 14, 2021 14:05:15 GMT -8

TechSalt: Either by resource hacking or using an icon pack (icon packs are not the most accurate thing tho.) Apr 14, 2021 21:06:02 GMT -8

Mina: TechSalt let me guess how you disable windows update: by disabling the service itself. correct? Apr 16, 2021 11:15:24 GMT -8

TechSalt: Mina Yes, i disable the service every boot up. Apr 17, 2021 0:38:03 GMT -8

Mina: well good Apr 17, 2021 13:42:03 GMT -8

Mina: i will do the same Apr 17, 2021 13:42:08 GMT -8
