Is it possible to add code for the Classic Shell start menu to the appmodule for Explorer? |

Hi, if Control+NVDA+F1 says “explorer.exe” while focused on Classic Shell, then yes (I’m thinking not). Thanks. From: hatserdevlats [mailto:notifications@github.com] Is it possible to add code for the Classic Shell start menu to the appmodule for Explorer? — |

Confirmed. The search edit field is read as 'edit blank' by NVDA, indicating that it is unlabelled from the software vendor's end itself. The second issue is that arrowing up to the Programs submenu, pressing the right arrow, and then pressing the left arrow does not take the user back to the Programs submenu but to some completely different place (PC username icon), something that seems less of an NVDA bug to me and more of a Classic Shell one. Regardless, I probably think the App Specific and NeedsExternalFix label would be suitable for this ticket. |

@hurrikenny, @ghost is this still reproducible for you? |

We didn't get any updates from the authors that could reproduce this issue for a very long time, and Support for Windows 8 ended completely in 2016 while Windows 8.1 ended completely in January 2023. I don't expect any futher updates for these Windows versions. I am closing this issue as abandoned given the missing updates. |

It was I think a classic shell issue. This software was very good in Windows
7, I use it there now, but I could never get a lot of reliability for any
Windows 8 installation.
The software has now become legacy, there being a new one that covers 10
and 11, but to me they are not so attractive as they have no facility to
make Explorer ribbon-less as the previous version did on 7 and was supposed
to do on 8.

I have recently upgraded to Windows 8 pro. I didn't really like using the metro apps start menu, so I downloaded Classic Shell - which gave me back my traditional start menu on my desktop. The only issue I am having is that when I press the Windows key, and arrow up to the apps menus, and then say arrow right to one of them, it will read it then, but not when I arrow back to the left. If I then arrow up or down, it will read it. It does the same when I go to programs and a few other menus where I have to arrow back to the left. It reads fine using arrow up or arrow down, just not using the left arrow to go back. I am also aware that the search field is not labelled (which I will contact the developer to fix from their end). If I turn off NVDA and test it with Narrator, it reads all of the menus correctly. Here is a link to the program. http://download.cnet.com/Classic-Shell/3000-2072_4-75553853.html
