You can download the Classic Shell program from my website at
http://www.letsgocomputers.com/programs/ClassicShell.exe
It gives the windows 7 style menu's with it's basic installation settings, and can also be customized the way you want.
It puts the start button and menus back like most are used to, and your computer will open at the desktop instead of at the apps screen too.
It's easy to do.
You can just click run program when it asks if you want to save it, or run it.
