Yes, I guess I can get by without CS as long as I still have Quick Launch, I just don't see myself going through all the scrolling and clicks to get what I use every day. and get rid of all those tiles. I guess I'll I just force myself on my play with computer, and uninstall CS. I'm sure in a couple of weeks I can get used to it. Happy or not.
@dalchina and I agreed to differ on nested folders for the Start menu when we discussed this a year ago. I accepted Start's limitations and tried to work with them while dalchina preferred Classic Shell's lack of restrictions.

I just deleted all shortcuts bar the ones for English help. :)...Which is one of a number of reasons I choose to use Classic Shell start menu which actually works. Reliably.
Now it looks like the days of Classic Shell may be numbered I wondered if there was a way to display a nested Start menu without the aid of a third party. Turns out there is - you can add C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu as a new Toolbar.
Your choice, as ever, depends on what you need. Very roughly (and opinions /usage will difer of course)
If you have a simple start menu, few programs installed, then Win 10's would work for you - similarly the Win 7-like start menu replacements. (Where the start menu tree is presented in a fixed size pane).
If you don't need drag 'n drop to arrange your start menu, again, Win 10's will work.
If you want search focussed on start menu entries, then look to a start menu replacement.
If you have a big deeply nested start menu, don't use Win 10's or a Win 10 start menu emulator. Why? After 3 folders deep, the folder are ignored and the shortcuts are presented in alphabetical order. (Think Help Help Help - all related to different programs).
I hear an echo of my post 205!@dalchina and I agreed to differ on nested folders for the Start menu when we discussed this a year ago. I accepted Start's limitations and tried to work with them while dalchina preferred Classic Shell's lack of restrictions.
