<span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(79, 129, 189);">Classic

Explorer</span> is a plugin for Windows Explorer that:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>Adds a toolbar to Explorer for some common operations (Go
|
|
||||||
to parent folder, Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete, Properties, Email). The toolbar is fully customizable</li>
|
|
||||||
<li>Replaces the copy UI in Windows 7 with the more user-friendly “classic” version similar to Windows XP</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>Handles Alt+Enter in the folder panel of Windows Explorer and shows the properties of the selected folder</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>Has options for customizing the folder panel to look more like the Windows XP version or to not fade the expand buttons</li>
|
|
||||||
<li>Can show the free disk space and the total file size in the status bar</li>
|
|
||||||
<li>Can disable the breadcrumbs in the address bar</li>
|
|
||||||
<li>Fixes
|
|
||||||
a long list of features that are broken in Windows 7 – missing icon
|
|
||||||
overlay for shared folders, the jumping folders in the navigation pane,
|
|
||||||
missing sorting headers in list view, and more<br>
|
|

</li>

|
|
||||||
<p>What’s wrong with it?</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Well, for
|
|
||||||
starters it is half a screen full of text that you have to read. Also
|
|
||||||
it is not immediately clear what parts of it are clickable. You have to
|
|
||||||
move the mouse around to discover the UI like in a <a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_of_the_Tentacle">Lucas Arts
|
|
||||||
adventure game</a>. And finally the keyboard usability is awful. To
|
|
||||||
tell it
|
|
||||||
<span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(79, 129, 189);">“yes, I know what I’m doing, I want to overwrite all files”</span> you have to
|
|
||||||
press <strong><span style="color: rgb(79, 129, 189);">Alt+D, up, up, up, Space</span></strong>! It is harder than performing the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AErqKebdqjU&feature=fvw">Akuma
|
|
||||||
Kara Demon move</a> in Street Fighter 3. There is a time and a place
|
|
||||||
for
|
|
||||||
that stuff and copying files is not it.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The Classic Explorer plugin brings back the simpler dialog box from Windows XP:<br>
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p><img src="images/after.png" style="width: 438px; height: 251px;" alt="After" title="After"><br>
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>It
|
|
||||||
is immediately clear what is clickable <span style="font-style: italic;">(clue – the buttons at the
|
|
||||||
bottom)</span>, there is easy keyboard navigation (press <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(79, 129, 189);">Y</span> for “Yes”, <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(79, 129, 189);">A</span> to
|
|
||||||
copy all files) and you can still see which file is newer and which is
|
|
||||||
larger. And of course just like in Windows XP, holding down <strong style="color: rgb(79, 129, 189);">Shift</strong> while clicking on the No button means "No to All" (or just press <strong style="color: rgb(79, 129, 189);">Shift+N</strong>).<br>
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>If you click
|
|
||||||
on <span style="text-decoration: underline;">More…</span> you will get
|
|
||||||
the original dialog from Windows. From there you
|
|
||||||
will see all the details and you’ll get an extra option to “Copy, but
|
|
||||||
keep both files”.</p>
|
|
||||||
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Important Note:</span> Only the UI is replaced. The underlying system that does the actual copying is not affected.<br>

<h1><a name="alt_enter"></a>Alt+Enter in the folder panel</h1>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Alt+Enter is
|
|
||||||
universal shortcut across Windows to bring up the properties of the
|
|
||||||
selection. But newer versions of Windows it doesn’t work in the left
|
|
||||||
panel that shows the folders. It works fine on the right where the
|
|
||||||
files are. This is broken compared to Windows XP where Alt+Enter works
|
|
||||||
in both places.
|
|
||||||
<p>To solve the
|
|
||||||
problem, the Classic Explorer plugin detects when you press Alt+Enter
|
|
||||||
and shows the properties for the currently selected folder.<br>
|
|
||||||

<h1><a name="toolbar"></a>Toolbar for Windows Explorer</h1>
|
|
||||||
Windows
|
|
||||||
Explorer in Vista doesn’t have a toolbar like the one in Windows XP. If
|
|
||||||
you want to go to the parent folder you have to use the breadcrumbs
|
|
||||||
bar. If you want to copy or delete a file with the mouse you have to
|
|
||||||
right-click and look for the Delete command. The right-click menu gets
|
|
||||||
bigger and bigger the more shell extensions you have installed, and
|
|
||||||
finding the right command can take a while.<br>
|
|
||||||
<p>To solve the problem, the Classic Explorer plugin adds a new toolbar:<br>
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<img src="images/toolbar.png" alt="Explorer Toolbar" title="Explorer Toolbar"><br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
The available button are: Go Up, Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete, Properties,
|
|
||||||
Email, Settings. More buttons can be added from the Settings dialog.<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
<span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 112, 192);">Hints:</span><br>
|
|
||||||
- Hold the <strong>Control key</strong> when clicking the Up button to open the parent folder in a new Explorer window.<br>
|
|
||||||
- Hold the <strong>Shift key</strong> when clicking the Delete button to permanently delete a file<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The new toolbar doesn’t show up in Explorer automatically after
|
|
||||||
installation. You have to do a few things before you can use it:<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ol style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>Open a new Windows Explorer window (Win key+E)</li>
|
|
||||||
<li>Turn on the menu in Explorer – Go to Tools (Alt+T), Folder
|
|
||||||
Options, the View tab, and make sure “Always show menus” is checked.</li>
|
|
||||||
<li>Right click on the menu bar and select “Classic Explorer Bar” to
|
|
||||||
show the toolbar.</li>
|
|
||||||
<li>If that option is not available (you only see “Lock the
|
|
||||||
Toolbars”) you may have to enable the plugin from Internet Explorer.
|
|
||||||
Run IE, right click on its toolbar and select “Classic Explorer Bar”.
|
|
||||||
It will ask you if you want to enable this add-on. Select “Enable”,
|
|
||||||
then repeat steps 1 through 3 again.</li>
|
|
||||||
<li>If even then you don't see the toolbar, maybe the browser
|
|
||||||
extensions are disabled on your system. This is usually the default for
|
|
||||||
servers. Open the "Internet Options", go to the "Advanced" tab, and check
|
|
||||||
the option "Enable third-party browser extensions".<br>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
</ol><br>
|
|
||||||
<h1><a name="statusbar"></a>Status bar<br>
|
|
||||||
</h1>
|
|
||||||
Classic Explorer restores the original Explorer status bar that shows the free disk space and the size of the selected files:<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
<img src="images/statusbar.png" style="width: 507px; height: 26px;" alt="File size in status bar" title="File size in status bar"><br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
Unlike the built-in status bar, the selection size is shown even if
|
|
||||||
more than 100 files are selected. When no files are selected the total
|
|
||||||
size of all files in the folder is shown.<br>
|
|
||||||
<br><strong>Windows 7 note:</strong> Classic Explorer enhances the
|
|
||||||
default status bar instead of replacing it. To see it, you have to turn
|
|
||||||
it on first from the View menu.
|
|
||||||
The status bar is different from the blue
|
|
||||||
Details Pane you see at the bottom of Explorer. You can turn off the
|
|
||||||
Details Pane from the Organize menu to save space. Also there is a bug
|
|
||||||
in the Windows 7 Explorer that sometimes doesn't show any text in the
|
|
||||||
status bar. Press <strong style="color: rgb(0, 112, 192);">F5</strong> to refresh the view and get the status text.<br>
|
|
||||||
<br><strong>Windows 8 note:</strong> Classic Explorer adds its own
|
|
||||||
status bar. You should hide the default status bar to save space.
|
|
||||||
Select the View tab in the ribbon, then click on Options. Select the
|
|
||||||
View tab in the options. Locate the checkbox "Show status bar" and
|
|
||||||
uncheck it.
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h1><a name="settings"></a>Settings</h1>You can access the settings of Classic Explorer from the toolbar or from the start menu:<br>
|
|
||||||
<img style="width: 682px; height: 465px;" alt="" src="images/explorer_settings.png"><br>
|
|
||||||
<br>You can choose from seeing only the basic settings, or all
|
|
||||||
available settings. Hover over each setting to see a description of
|
|
||||||
what it's for. Type in the search box to find a setting by name.<br>
|
|
||||||
Every setting has a default value. The default value can be constant,
|
|
||||||
or it may depend on the current system settings. Once you edit a
|
|
||||||
setting it becomes "modified" and is shown in bold. To revert to the
|
|
||||||
default value, right-click on the setting.<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>You can save the settings to an XML file, and later load them back.
|
|
||||||
Press the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Backup</span> button to access these functions. From there you can
|
|
||||||
also reset all settings to their default value.<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Press OK to store your settings. Most of the settings will be applied
|
|
||||||
the next time you open a new Explorer window. Small number of settings
|
|
||||||
will require a log off before you can see the change.<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Note:</span> All Settings windows are resizable. Resize them and place them where you want them to be. They will remember the new position.<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
Here's one example of what can be customized:<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<img src="images/titlebar.png" alt="Title bar tweaks" title="Title bar tweaks"><br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
Click on the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Toolbar Buttons</span> tab to customize the toolbar:<br>
|
|
||||||
<img style="width: 682px; height: 465px;" alt="" src="images/toolbar_settings.png"><br>
|
|
||||||
<br>The column on the left shows the current buttons in the toolbar,
|
|
||||||
and the column on the right lists the buttons you can add to the
|
|
||||||
toolbar. You can drag and drop buttons from the right column to the
|
|
||||||
left. You
|
|
||||||
can rearrange the buttons by dragging them up and down. If you drop one button inside another you will create a sub-menu.<br>
|
|
||||||
Hover over each
|
|
||||||
button to see a short description of what it does. Right-click on each
|
|
||||||
button to access more functions (like Delete, Rename, etc). From the
|
|
||||||
right-click menu you can also reset the toolbar to the original state.<br>
|
|
||||||
Each item in the left column must have a unique name. This is the
|
|
||||||
identifier of the item and can only contain English letters, digits and
|
|
||||||
underscore. Some items (like SEPARATOR) cannot be renamed.<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Important Note:</span> Not all available commands have default icons or text. That's because Windows doesn't have icons for things like <span style="font-weight: bold;">Undo</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Select All</span>, etc. If you want to use such buttons in your toolbar you will have to provide your own icon. See below how to do it.<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
After you place a button in the toolbar, you can edit it's attributes. Double-click on the button to edit:<br>
|
|
||||||
<img style="width: 446px; height: 375px;" alt="Edit toolbar button" title="Edit toolbar button" src="images/button_settings.png"><br>
|
|
||||||
Here you can select a command for the button, its text and icon. Press the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Restore Defaults</span> button to get the default text and icon for the chosen command.<br>
|
|
||||||
The command can be:<br>
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">left blank</span> - then if the link attribute is used, it will act as a command</li>
|
|
||||||
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">one of the predefined commands</span> - from the dropdown</li>
|
|
||||||
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">open <some folder></span> - this will open the folder in the current browser</li>
|
|
||||||
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">sortby <property></span> - this will sort the folder by the given property - <span style="font-weight: bold;">name, type, size </span>or<span style="font-weight: bold;"> date</span>. Use '-' in front of the property to sort in descending order: <span style="font-weight: bold;">"sortby -name"</span>. You can use other properties if you know their code. For example <span style="font-weight: bold;">"sortby {B725F130-47EF-101A-A5F1-02608C9EEBAC}, 10"</span> is the same as <span style="font-weight: bold;">"sortby name"</span>. For more property codes refer to the file <span style="font-weight: bold;">propkey.h</span> in the Windows SDK (also found <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc251929%28v=prot.10%29.aspx">here</a> - scroll down to the "Full property table"). Not all property codes are valid or supported (for example the <span style="font-weight: bold;">album year</span> property <span style="font-weight: bold;">{56A3372E-CE9C-11D2-9F0E-006097C686F6}, 5</span> only works when showing music albums)</li>
|
|
||||||
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">groupby <property></span> - similar to <span style="font-weight: bold;">sortby</span>, but groups the files by a given property. Use the command <span style="font-weight: bold;">groupby</span> with no property to disable the grouping<br>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">custom executable string</span>
|
|
||||||
- this can be a name of a program and its arguments, or even a URL
|
|
||||||
(like http://www.google.com). You can use environment variables like <span style="font-weight: bold;">%SystemRoot%</span>. You can also use the
|
|
||||||
placeholders <span style="font-weight: bold;">%1</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">%2</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">%3</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">%4</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">%5</span>:</li>
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">%1</span> is the path of the
|
|
||||||
current folder. Keep in mind that if the current folder is a root of a
|
|
||||||
drive it will end with a backslash (like C:\)<br>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">%2</span> is the path of the selected file (only when a single file is
|
|
||||||
selected)</li>
|
|
||||||
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">%3</span>
|
|
||||||
is a name of a temporary text file that contains all selected files.
|
|
||||||
Each line in the text file contains one file with its full path<br>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">%4</span>
|
|
||||||
is the same as %3, but the file is in Unicode (UTF16) format. The file
|
|
||||||
contains no byte order mark. %3 and %4 can't both be used by the same command<br>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Note to developers: </span>When
|
|
||||||
%3 or %4 is used, it is the responsibility of the command to delete the
|
|
||||||
temporary file when it finishes. Otherwise the temp file will be left
|
|
||||||
behind and waste disk space. Also if the command is a console application
|
|
||||||
or a batch file it will be launched in silent mode with no console
|
|
||||||
window</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">%5</span> is a name of a
|
|
||||||
temporary text file, which can be used to return a command back to
|
|
||||||
Classic Explorer. If the first 2 bytes of the file are 255 and 254, the
|
|
||||||
file is treated as Unicode. Only one command can be used at a time. The command
|
|
||||||
can be:</li>
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">open <folder name></span> - causes Explorer to navigate to the given folder</li>
|
|
||||||
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">select <list of file names></span>
|
|
||||||
- selects the given files, deselects the rest. The file names must be
|
|
||||||
separated by a tab or a newline character. The files should not contain
|
|
||||||
a path. If they do, the path will be ignored<br>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">refresh</span> - refreshes Explorer</li>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Note to developers:</span>
|
|
||||||
commands using %5 will run in silent mode (like commands using %3 or
|
|
||||||
%4) but
|
|
||||||
also Explorer will wait for the process to finish. The process must
|
|
||||||
finish as quickly as possible, because Explorer will be frozen during
|
|
||||||
the execution of the command</li>
|
|
||||||
<li>See the next section for a few examples how to use these parameters<br>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
The link can be a path to a file or a folder. If it is a file, that
|
|
||||||
file will be executed. If it is a folder, that folder will be opened as
|
|
||||||
a sub-menu (only for top-level buttons).<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
The icon can be:<br style="font-weight: bold;">
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">left blank</span> - then if the link attribute points to a file or a folder, the icon of that file or folder will be used<br>
|
|
||||||
<span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></li>
|
|
||||||
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">resource file,icon ID</span> - for example <span style="font-weight: bold;">%windir%\notepad.exe,2</span>. Do not leave space between the file name and the comma. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Make sure you are using the icon's resource ID, and not the icon's index.</span> For best results use the <span style="font-weight: bold;">[...]</span> button next to the icon box</li>
|
|
||||||
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">,icon ID</span> - same as above, but the resource file is the <span style="font-weight: bold;">ClassicExplorer.dll</span> itself. This is useful when referring to Classic Explorer's own icons<br>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">icon file</span> - for example <span style="font-weight: bold;">C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\Email.ico</span></li>
|
|
||||||
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">none</span> - this will use a blank icon</li>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
If the label or the tip attribute start with <span style="font-weight: bold;">$</span> (dollar sign), then the
|
|
||||||
system will treat it as a name of a string in the <span style="font-weight: bold;">ExplorerL10N.ini</span>
|
|
||||||
file. The actual text will depend on the current language setting. This
|
|
||||||
is useful when creating a toolbar that can be used by multiple languages.<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Note to developers: </span>Buttons for custom commands can be checked or disabled. The toolbar checks the registry key <span style="font-weight: bold;">HKCU\Software\PassionateCoder\ClassicExplorer</span>
|
|
||||||
for a DWORD value with the name of the button (the name used in left
|
|
||||||
column). 0 means normal, 1 is disabled and 2 is checked. The toolbar
|
|
||||||
reads the registry keys on startup. To force the buttons to update
|
|
||||||
their state after that you need to find all Explorer windows, locate
|
|
||||||
the child window with class <span style="font-weight: bold;">ClassicStart.CBandWindow</span>, and post a message <span style="font-weight: bold;">WM_CLEAR</span>. This is useful if you are developing a custom exe to be used by the toolbar.<br>

<h1><a name="examples"></a>Examples for Custom Commands</h1>
|
|
||||||
<h3>0) Use quotes when necessary</h3>In order to support paths that
|
|
||||||
contain spaces, you should use quotes around the path parameters. The
|
|
||||||
quotes are not always required, like in examples 1 and 2 below. Make
|
|
||||||
sure you test your commands with paths containing spaces to avoid
|
|
||||||
surprises.<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
<h3>1) Print the current folder</h3>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Use this command: <span style="font-weight: bold;">cmd.exe /k echo %1</span>. %1 will be replaced by the path of the current folder.<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
<h3>2) Open the selected file in Notepad</h3>
|
|
||||||
Use this command: <span style="font-weight: bold;">%SystemRoot%\notepad.exe %2</span>.
|
|
||||||
%2 will be replaced by the full name of the selected file. It doesn't
|
|
||||||
need to be in quotes because Notepad uses the whole command line as a
|
|
||||||
file name.<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
<h3>3) Copy selected files to the parent folder<br>
|
|
||||||
</h3>
|
|
||||||
Create a batch file called <span style="font-weight: bold;">C:\CopyParent.bat:<br><span style="font-family: monospace;">
|
|
||||||
set list=%1<br>
|
|
||||||
set list=%list:"=%<br>
|
|
||||||
for /F "delims=" %%i in (%list%) do copy /Y "%%i" ..<br>

|

Use this command: <span style="font-weight: bold;">C:\SelectText.bat "%5".</span>
|
|
||||||
%5 will be replaced by a blank text file, where the command must output
|
|
||||||
the word "select" and a list of files it wants to select. The "dir
|
|
||||||
*.txt /b" command provides that list.<br>

<h1><a name="admin"></a>Administrative Settings</h1>The settings are
|
|
||||||
per user and are stored in the registry. By default every user can edit
|
|
||||||
all of their settings. An administrator can lock specific settings, so
|
|
||||||
no user can edit them:<br>
|
|
||||||
<img style="width: 682px; height: 465px;" alt="" src="images/up_locked.png"><br>
|
|
||||||
In this example the setting "Show Up button" is locked to always be
|
|
||||||
"Before Back/Forward" and can't be changed by any user. This is achieved
|
|
||||||
by adding the setting to the <span style="font-weight: bold;">HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PassionateCoder\ClassicExplorer</span> registry key. Create a string value called "ShowUpButton" and set it to "BeforeBack".<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>In some cases you may not want to lock the value for all users, but
|
|
||||||
simply modify the initial value of the setting. In such case add
|
|
||||||
"_Default" to the name of the value. For example if you want the Up
|
|
||||||
button to be before Back by default but still allow the users to change
|
|
||||||
it if they wish, create a string value named "ShowUpButton_Default" and
|
|
||||||
set it to "BeforeBack".<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
The easiest way to know the registry name of a setting and its value is to modify it, and then look it up in <span style="font-weight: bold;">HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PassionateCoder\ClassicExplorer\Settings</span>.<br>
|
|
||||||
Sometimes you may want to lock a setting to its default value, but you
|
|
||||||
don't know what the default value is. Then create a DWORD value and set
|
|
||||||
it to 0xDEFA.<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
There is also a global setting <span style="font-weight: bold;">EnableSettings</span>. Set it to 0 in the
|
|
||||||
registry to prevent the users from even opening the Settings dialog:<br>
|
|
||||||
<img style="width: 603px; height: 257px;" alt="Disable all settings" title="Disable all settings" src="images/settings_disable_ex.png"><br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
You can enable or disable Classic Explorer for individual processes
|
|
||||||
using the 2 registry settings "ProcessWhiteList" and
|
|
||||||
"ProcessBlackList". <span style="font-weight: bold;">ProcessWhiteList </span>is
|
|
||||||
a list of processes for which Classic Explorer will load. Use only the
|
|
||||||
file name of the process (like "notepad.exe"), separate multiple names
|
|
||||||
with a comma or a semicolon. <span style="font-weight: bold;">ProcessBlackList</span>
|
|
||||||
is a list of processes for which Classic Explorer will not load. You
|
|
||||||
should only use one of the two lists. If both lists are specified, the
|
|
||||||
black list will be ignored. The lists are only used when you enable the
|
|
||||||
features that are supported for processes other than Explorer. At the
|
|
||||||
moment these features are: the shared overlay icon and the replacements
|
|
||||||
for the copy dialogs.<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
Editing the settings through group policies is also supported. Extract the file <b>PolicyDefinitions.zip</b> found in the installation folder and read the document <b>PolicyDefinitions.rtf</b> for more details.<br>

<h1><a name="dependencies"></a>Dependencies on Windows settings<br>
|
|
||||||
</h1>
|
|
||||||
Some Classic Explorer settings require specific Windows settings to be enabled:<br>
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Windows Vista navigation pane style</span> - requires Windows to be using Aero or Basic theme</li>
|
|
||||||
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Auto-navigate to the selected folder</span>
|
|
||||||
- this setting can be set to "Always" only when Explorer is set to
|
|
||||||
"Automatically expand to current folder". Look for it in the <span style="font-weight: bold;">General</span> tab of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Tools -> Folder Options</span></li>
|
|
||||||
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Show caption in the title bar</span>
|
|
||||||
- the caption will show either the full path name or only the name of
|
|
||||||
the current folder. To see the full path you need to enable "Display
|
|
||||||
the full path in the title bar (Classic theme only)" in the <span style="font-weight: bold;">View</span> tab of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Tools -> Folder Options</span></li>
|
|
||||||
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">All status bar settings</span> - require the status bar to be visible (not to be confused with the Details Pane). Check <span style="font-weight: bold;">View -> Status bar</span></li>

</ul>

<h1><a name="install"></a>Installation</h1>
|
|

When you run Internet Explorer for the first time after installing
|
|
||||||
Classic IE it may prompt you that a new add-on called ClassicIEBHO is
|
|
||||||
installed and if you want to enable it. Click on the Enable button. If
|
|
||||||
you don't get a prompt, go to <span style="font-weight: bold;">Tools -> Manage add-ons</span> and make sure ClassicIEBHO is enabled. After enabling the add-on you have to restart Internet Explorer to activate the plugin.<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
<h1><a name="settings"></a>Settings</h1>
|
|
||||||
You can access the settings from <span style="font-weight: bold;">Tools -> Classic IE Settings</span>
|
|
||||||
or from the start menu. The settings control the color and the font of
|
|
||||||
the caption, and what information to display on the status bar.<br>
|
|
||||||
<img style="width: 683px; height: 438px;" alt="" src="images/ie9_settings.png"><br>
|
|
||||||
<br>You can choose from seeing only the basic settings, or all
|
|
||||||
available settings. Hover over each setting to see a description of
|
|
||||||
what it's for. Type in the search box to find a setting by name.<br>
|
|
||||||
Every setting has a default value. The default value can be constant,
|
|
||||||
or it may depend on the current system settings. Once you edit a
|
|
||||||
setting it becomes "modified" and is shown in bold. To revert to the
|
|
||||||
default value, right-click on the setting.<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
You can save the settings to an XML file, and later load them back.
|
|
||||||
Press the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Backup</span> button to access these functions. From there you can
|
|
||||||
also reset all settings to their default value.<br>

The settings are

||||||
per user and are stored in the registry. By default every user can edit
|
|
||||||
all of their settings. An administrator can lock specific settings, so
|
|
||||||
no user can edit them. This is achieved by adding the setting to the <span style="font-weight: bold;">HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PassionateCoder\ClassicIE</span> registry key.<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
You may also wish to not lock the setting but only override its initial
|
|
||||||
value. Then add "_Default" to the name of the registry value.<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
The easiest way to know the registry name of a setting and its value is to modify it, and then look it up in <span style="font-weight: bold;">HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PassionateCoder\ClassicIE\Settings</span>.<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Sometimes you may want to lock a setting to its default value, but you
|

||||||
don't know what the default value is. Then create a DWORD value and set

||||||
it to 0xDEFA.<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|

There is also a global setting <span style="font-weight: bold;">EnableSettings</span>. Set it to 0 in the

registry to prevent the users from even opening the Settings dialog:<br>

<h1><a name="styles"></a> Styles</h1>
|
|
||||||
The start menu offers 3 styles to choose from.<br>
|
|
||||||
<h3>1) Single-column classic style</h3>
|
|
||||||
<img src="images/style1.png" style="width: 640px; height: 550px;" alt=""><br>
|
|
||||||
This style is similar to the menu found in Windows 2000. It has one
|
|
||||||
column in the main menu with vertical text on the side. you can
|
|
||||||
customize the order of items, icons and text.<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Programs, jumplists and search results show as cascading sub-menus.<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
<h3>2) Two-column classic style</h3>
|
|
||||||
<img src="images/style2.png" style="width: 640px; height: 550px;" alt=""><br>
|
|
||||||
This style is similar to the Windows XP menu. There are two columns
|
|
||||||
where you can arrange your menu items. Customize the order, icons and
|
|
||||||
text.<br>
|
|
||||||
Programs, jumplists and search results show as cascading sub-menus.<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
<h3>3) Windows 7 style<br>
|
|
||||||
</h3>
|
|
||||||
<img src="images/style3.png" style="width: 640px; height: 550px;" alt=""><br>
|
|
||||||
This style is similar to the Windows Vista and Windows 7 menu. The
|
|
||||||
items in the first column are pre-defined to pinned and recent
|
|
||||||
programs, all programs list and search box. The items in the second
|
|
||||||
column are fully customizable.<br>
|
|
||||||
The jumplists and search results show inside the main menu. The
|
|
||||||
programs can be inside the main menu or open as a cascading sub-menu.<br>
|
|
||||||
This style offers less customizing options than the classic styles, but
|
|
||||||
has look and feel more familiar to people used to Windows 7.<br>

|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<p><br>

<h1><a name="settings"></a>
|
|
||||||
Settings</h1>Right-click on the start button to access the settings:<br>
|
|
||||||
<img src="images/settings1.png" style="width: 688px; height: 472px;" alt=""><br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
You can choose from seeing only the basic settings, or all available
|
|
||||||
settings. Hover over each setting to see a description of what it's for. Type in the search box to find a setting by name.<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Every setting has a default value. The default value can be constant,
|
|
||||||
or it may depend on the current system settings. Once you edit a
|
|
||||||
setting it becomes "modified" and is shown in bold. To revert to the
|
|
||||||
default value, right-click on the setting.<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You can save the settings to an XML file, and later load them back.
|
|
||||||
Press the Backup button to access these functions. From there you can
|
|
||||||
also reset all settings to their default value.<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Most settings will be changed immediately as you edit them. For example
|
|
||||||
you can edit the start menu, then while the Settings dialog is open,
|
|
||||||
access the start menu to see the changes. Small number of settings will
|
|
||||||
require you to exit the start menu before you can see the change.<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Note:</span> All Settings windows are resizable. Resize them and place them where you want them to be. They will remember the new position.<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
Click on the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Customize Start Menu</span> tab to customize the menu items. Depending on the style you will see different UI.<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
For classic styles you can customize both columns of the start menu and
|
|
||||||
create sub-menus. The left column shows the current items in the menu
|
|
||||||
and the right column shows the available menu items. Drag from the
|
|
||||||
right to the left to add items to the menu.<br>
|
|
||||||
<img src="images/settings3.png" style="width: 688px; height: 472px;" alt=""><br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
For the Windows 7 style you can only edit the items for the second column and there are no sub-menus.<br>
|
|
||||||
<img src="images/settings2.png" style="width: 688px; height: 472px;" alt=""><br>
|
|
||||||
<br><br>
|
|
||||||
Double-click on the icon to edit the item properties:<br>
|
|
||||||
<img src="images/settings4.png" style="width: 452px; height: 482px;" alt=""><br>
|
|
||||||
Here you can select a command for the item, its text, icon and other attributes. Press the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Restore Defaults</span> button to get the default text and icon for the chosen command.<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
The command can be:<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">one of the predefined commands</span> - from the dropdown</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">custom executable string</span>
|
|
||||||
- this can be a name of a program and its arguments, or even a URL
|
|
||||||
(like http://www.google.com). Environment variables like %SystemRoot% are supported</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">left blank</span> - then if the link attribute is used, it will act as a command<br>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
The link can be a path to a file or a folder. If it is a file, that
|
|
||||||
file will be executed. If it is a folder, that folder will be opened as
|
|
||||||
a sub-menu. Some menu items (like Programs and Favorites) have an implicit
|
|
||||||
link attribute, so for them the Link box will be disabled.<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The icon can be:<br style="font-weight: bold;">
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">left blank</span> - then if the link attribute points to a file or a folder, the icon of that file or folder will be used<br>
|
|
||||||
<span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">resource file,icon ID</span> - for example <span style="font-weight: bold;">%windir%\notepad.exe,2</span>. Do not leave space between the file name and the comma. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Make sure you are using the icon's resource ID, and not the icon's index.</span> For best results use the <span style="font-weight: bold;">[...]</span> button next to the icon box<br>
|
|
||||||
</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">,icon ID</span> - same as above, but the resource file is the <span style="font-weight: bold;">ClassicStartMenuDLL.dll</span> itself. This is useful when referring to the start menu's own icons<br>
|
|
||||||
</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">icon file</span> - for example <span style="font-weight: bold;">C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\Email.ico</span></li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">none</span> - this will use a blank icon</li>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
If the label or the tip attribute start with <span style="font-weight: bold;">$</span> (dollar sign), then the system will treat it as a name of a string in the <span style="font-weight: bold;">StartMenuL10N.ini</span>
|
|
||||||
file. The actual text will depend on the current language setting. This
|
|
||||||
is useful when creating a menu that can be used by multiple languages.<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
If you check "Insert Sub-items as Buttons", instead of showing the menu
|
|
||||||
item itself, the start menu will show the sub-items as a row of
|
|
||||||
buttons. By default the buttons are centered. You can align them to the
|
|
||||||
left by adding a separator as the last item, or align them to the right
|
|
||||||
by adding a separator as the first item. One possible use is to replace
|
|
||||||
the shutdown menu item with
|
|
||||||
separate buttons for shutdown, restart, log off, etc.<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
<h1><a name="admin"></a>Administrative Settings</h1>
|
|
||||||
The settings are
|
|
||||||
per user and are stored in the registry. By default every user can edit
|
|
||||||
all of their settings. An administrator can lock specific settings, so
|
|
||||||
no user can edit them:<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<img src="images/settings5.png" style="width: 688px; height: 472px;" alt=""><br>
|
|
||||||
In this example the setting "Enable right-click menu" is locked to always
|
|
||||||
be unchecked and can't be changed by any user. This is achieved
|
|
||||||
by adding the setting to the <span style="font-weight: bold;">HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PassionateCoder\ClassicStartMenu</span> registry key. Create a DWORD value called "EnableContextMenu" and set it to 0.<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
In some cases you may not want to lock the value for all users, but
|
|
||||||
simply modify the initial value of the setting. In such case add
|
|
||||||
"_Default" to the name of the value. For example if you want to context
|
|
||||||
menu to be disabled by default but still allow the users to enable it
|
|
||||||
if they wish, create a DWORD value named "EnableContextMenu_Default"
|
|
||||||
and set it to 0.<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
The easiest way to know the registry name of a setting and its value is to modify it, and then look it up in <span style="font-weight: bold;">HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PassionateCoder\ClassicStartMenu\Settings</span>.<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Sometimes you may want to lock a setting to its default value, but you
|
|
||||||
don't know what the default value is. Then create a DWORD value and set
|
|
||||||
it to 0xDEFA.<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There is also a global setting "EnableSettings". Set it to 0 in the
|
|
||||||
registry to prevent the users from even opening the Settings dialog:<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<img style="width: 656px; height: 292px;" alt="" src="images/settings_disable_sm.png"><br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
The start menu also checks most of the group policies set by the administrator. Run <strong style="color: rgb(0, 112, 192);">gpedit.msc</strong> and go to <strong style="color: rgb(0, 112, 192);">User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Start Menu and Taskbar</strong>. From there you can disable Run, Shutdown, Help, and other features. <span style="font-style: italic;">(Not available on Home versions of Windows)</span>.<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
Editing the settings through group policies is also supported. Extract the file <b>PolicyDefinitions.zip</b> found in the installation folder and read the document <b>PolicyDefinitions.rtf</b> for more details.<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
<h1><a name="skins"></a>More About Skins</h1>
|
|
||||||
You can pick from the many pre-installed skins:<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
<img src="images/skins.gif" style="width: 250px; height: 470px;" alt="Skins for Classic Start Menu" title="Skins for Classic Start Menu"><br>
|
|
||||||
<br>Or you can download and install additional 3rd party skins (from
|
|
||||||
the main website or from another place). After you download a new skin
|
|
||||||
you
|
|
||||||
must copy the <span style="font-weight: bold;">.skin</span> file to the Skins directory – usually <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(79, 129, 189);">C:\Program
|
|
||||||
Files\Classic Start\Skins</span>. After that it will be available in the settings.<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
<strong>Note:</strong> Some skins may be specifically designed for
|
|
||||||
Classic, Basic, or Aero mode. For example an Aero skin may require
|
|
||||||
glass support any will look weird if the Classic or Basic theme is
|
|
||||||
selected. Some Aero skins may also require specific glass color to be
|
|
||||||
selected.<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
You can create your own skin. You will need an image editor that
|
|
||||||
supports alpha channel (like Gimp or Photoshop) and a tool to edit
|
|
||||||
resource files (like Resource Hacker or Visual Studio). And of course
|
|
||||||
some talent for graphical design :). Read the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.classicshell.net/tutorials/skintutorial.html">Skinning Tutorial</a> before you begin.<br>

<h1><a name="search"></a>Search</h1><img src="images/search1.png" style="width: 403px; height: 452px;" alt=""><br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
The search box lets you search the contents of the start menu, the
|
|
||||||
programs in the PATH environment variable and the indexed files. You can have the search box
|
|
||||||
appear as a normal menu item and then you can get to it using the
|
|
||||||
up/down arrow keys. You can choose to have the search box selected by
|
|
||||||
default when you open the start menu. Or you can choose to activate the
|
|
||||||
search box only with the Tab key, so until you press Tab you can use
|
|
||||||
the keyboard for navigation as if the search box is not there.<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
The search results show in the main menu if you are using the Windows 7 style or in a sub-menu for the classic styles.<br>
|
|
||||||
Click on each category to expand it and see more results. Click on the icon at the end to view all results in Explorer.<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
The classic styles allow you to register additional "search providers", which you can use to
|
|
||||||
search for the text from the search box. You run the search program
|
|
||||||
either by selecting it from the menu, or by
|
|
||||||
pressing Alt+key. In this example use Alt+A for Agent Ransack.<br>
|
|
||||||
<img src="images/search2.png" style="width: 412px; height: 345px;" alt=""><br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
This is done by adding sub-items of the SearchBoxItem in the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Customize Start Menu</span> tab:<br>
|
|
||||||
<img src="images/search3.png" style="width: 347px; height: 197px;" alt=""><br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
Open each of the sub-items and enter a command to start the search program. If you use <span style="font-weight: bold;">%1</span> in the command, it will be replaced by the contents of the search box. If you use <span style="font-weight: bold;">%2</span>
|
|
||||||
it will be replaced by the url-style encoded search text. Enter a
|
|
||||||
label, tip, and icon to complete your menu entry. In the label text you
|
|
||||||
can use <span style="font-weight: bold;">&</span> to mark the accelerator character (for example <span style="font-weight: bold;">&Agent Ransack</span>).<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
Here are a few possible commands:<br>
|
|
||||||
Search with Agent Ransack: <span style="font-weight: bold;">"C:\Program Files\Agent Ransack\AgentRansack.exe" -r -f "%1"</span><br>
|
|
||||||
Search with Everything: <span style="font-weight: bold;">"C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -search "%1"</span><br>
|
|
||||||
Search with Google: <span style="font-weight: bold;">http://www.google.com/#q=%2</span><br>
|
|

Search with Bing: <span style="font-weight: bold;">http://www.bing.com/search?q=%2</span><br>

<h1><a name="button"></a>Custom Start Button<br>
|
|
||||||
</h1>Classic Start can add its own start button to the taskbar. It can
|
|
||||||
even replace the default start button in Windows 7. You can choose from
|
|
||||||
an Aero-style orb, a rectangular classic button, or
|
|
||||||
you can make your own. For a custom start button you need an image that
|
|
||||||
contain the 3 states of the button - normal, hot and pressed:<br>
|
|
||||||
<img src="images%5Cbutton_images.png" style="width: 64px; height: 192px;" alt="Start button images" title="Start button images"><br>
|
|
||||||
The image must be a 32-bit PNG or BMP. By default the width of the
|
|
||||||
image determines the size of the button. You can override that by
|
|
||||||
entering a custom width.<br>
|
|
||||||
Read the <a href="http://www.classicshell.net/tutorials/buttontutorial.html">Button Tutorial</a> for more information about creating custom buttons.<br>
|
|
||||||
You can find many custom start button images online. Here are few examples:<br>

<h1><a name="localization"></a>Localization</h1>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The user interface (except the Settings dialog box) is localized in 35
|
|
||||||
languages.<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The Settings dialog box is translated in a smaller number of languages.
|
|
||||||
The default installation contains only English. More languages can be
|
|
||||||
downloaded from the <a href="http://www.classicshell.net/translations/">translations page</a>. Make sure you download the translation package for the exact version of Classic Start.<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
<br><h1><a name="command_line"></a>Command Line</h1>
|
|
||||||
The <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 112, 192);">ClassicStartMenu.exe</span> supports 5 command line parameters: <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 112, 192);">-open</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 112, 192);">-toggle</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 112, 192);">-togglenew</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 112, 192);">-exit </span>and <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 112, 192);">-settings</span>.<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
The first two do what the name suggests. One opens the classic start menu, the other
|
|
||||||
toggles it. You can use the parameters to create a shortcut in your
|
|
||||||
QuickLaunch bar that opens the start menu. Or to set a hotkey in
|
|
||||||
programs such as <a target="_blank" href="http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/WinKey.shtml">WinKey</a>.<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
The third one "-togglenew" toggles the default Windows start menu (or start screen). It is useful if
|
|
||||||
you want to create a shortcut or a hotkey to open the default menu and use the Win
|
|
||||||
key for the classic menu.<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
Use "-exit" to exit the start menu. This command will only work if the start menu is not currently busy.<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
Use "-settings" to open the start menu settings. This is useful for creating a shortcut for editing the settings.<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
<h1><a name="accessibility"></a>Accessibility</h1>The start menu supports screen readers like JAWS,
|
|
||||||
or Microsoft's Narrator. If the accessibility support causes problems it can be disabled from the <span style="font-weight: bold;">General Behavior</span> tab of the Settings.<br>
