6. You have to customize it for it to be really useful

but once you do it makes your entire HD accessible with two clicks by putting various directories into menus and jumplists organized however you like. That's why Classic Shell beats the Win 7 start button which is kind of fugly in any case.

Win 1-4 were sort of before my time LOL but to the degree I encountered Program Manager it seemed to be a less perky start button.

The Bhopal screen is indestructible. On another PC I just installed the latest Win 10 pro update which is a ginormous affair that nukes non-MS software but otherwise doesn't change much and it's as unkillable as ever. Technically it's a log-on screen; the lock screen is customizable and can be gotten rid of.
