I have downloaded and installed Classic Shell on my Asus laptop and I use Firefox. I am aiming to get Start button back.

for Windows 8.

Can't get the programme to open so the 'shell' does not appear. The programme is there (can see it in 'uninstall programmes' ) but it does not seem to open. It talks about IE so maybe it won't work on Firefox? it does not come up as an add-on' in Firefox.

Advice welcomed please. I'm not very skilful on line so please can you explain carefully. Tell me if you need more info. Thank you.

Sorry, that isn't related to Firefox. It's a "mod" application that affects your Windows operating system. There should be a menu shortcut item for Classic Start Menu in Settings. Try asking in the Classic Shell fora. http://www.classicshell.net/forum/

Where do I find Settings? Is this in Windows or somewhere else? Sorry to be so basic.
