Default Simplest way to get WinXP-style sliding cascading menu on Win10 (without MS Update bricking the system)?

Too bad. You may be able to recover data from it if you install it in
ana external case. Good luck.


Here is a picture of my attempt at mounting the HDD using a 3.5" IDE
connector in the classic PATA/SATA/IDE adapter to the USB port of the now
working computer.

Mounting that HDD is not the topic of this thread, as whatever MS Update
did to brick my system, makes it such that an external system doesn't "see"
anything but a drive that needs to be formatted.

I must state that MS Update has failed so many times on my Win 10 system
that I "ass-u-me" that the reason is that Microsoft hates customizations,
where I admit I customized with WinAero and the Classic Shell, which I
admit is probably my sin against the Gods at Redmond.

Nonetheless, this thread is only about how to get what MANY people want,
which is a simple cascaded menu, but without having to offend the Gods at
Redmond.

Since Microsoft is certainly aware that many people want a cascaded menu,
this thread is only to ask if we can get that WITHOUT having to resort to
using the Classic Shell method of customization.
