Classic Shell v4.0 Released

[Arthur]

Although there are better replacement Start Menu programs available, it's hard to beat the price of this if you have to install one.

Will give this a look. Used to use it, but found it a little crashy (early days of w8) and moved to Start8. Always like to have a backup though
