Replacement for Classic Shell?

Irc, win7 didn't really offer that much customisation? I've actually forgotten, though creating a default profile was far less time consuming (perhaps through less customisation ).

To be fair yeah Windows 7 is a bit limited but it does have some more advanced options hidden away including some of the folder customisation panels, etc. and then there is the "god mode" (.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}) options plus it does facilitate tinkering under the hood in a way that Windows 10 doesn't.

God mode works for win10 as well though its not quite as featured as win7 no doubt but for the most part there not really settings youd need/want for a normal desktop environment. I've always found gpedit.msc a far more useful command

edit - just noticed gpedit is not available in home, does god mode work?
new folder > GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

7 has some advanced customisation options in there that aren't present in 10 though a lot of the stuff in "god mode" isn't particularly useful and yeah done better by gpedit when it comes to system administration type stuff.
