And if you can find a web site that has it for free, it's a pirate site. And as far as I'm concerned, it's extremely foolhardy to download anything from such a site. -- Ken Blake |

Classic Shell vs Start 8
On 02 Oct 2013, wrote in alt.comp.os.windows-8:
well, excuse my lack of precision. I'm trying to. I have Classic Shell installed over Win 8. My question is: can I uninstall (using Revo or whatever) Classic Shell and get back to what I had before I installed Classic Shell, with out messing up Win 8. Classic Shell has its own uninstaller. There's no need to use anything else. Why would you even consider using a third-party uninstaller without trying that first? |

Classic Shell vs Start 8
On 02 Oct 2013, Wolf K wrote in
alt.comp.os.windows-8: But if you want a "clean" Win8 so you can test Start8, just use Revo or similar to uninstall Classic Shell. Why not just ininstall Classic Shell from Windows Control Panel? Why bother with a third-party uninstaller? |
