It took me hours to figure out, but I solved the problem. It was due to my own incompetence. I apologize for my insane ranting. I had used a reg file to add "Take Ownership" to the context menus. It didn't work for exe files, so I modified the reg file to include exefile under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, and I used HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\runas, since that what was used for the other items (*, Directory, and Drive). The other items don't have "runas" by default, but exefile does, and it HAS to be there or it breaks "Run as administrator". Winaero Tweaker uses "Run as administrator", so when I was trying to run it, it was actually doing "Take Ownership" instead, which appeared to do nothing. Anyways... Winaero Tweaker gets rid of those extra icons by disabling "Removable Drives" for "Navigation Pane - Default Items". Windows 7 doesn't have "Removeable Drives" for this, at least mine doesn't. You were correct about the + nodes, that has nothing to so with SCT, but the .msstyles classic theme. It's either an issue with the theme I'm using, or it's not possible to get the + nodes to appear in any .msstyles theme. I reported it as an issue on Github. I did check Open-Shell Explorer, and I don't see anything under the Navigation Pane that seems to have anything to do with the + node icons:  |

As I said I wasn't 100% sure about the + nodes. Glad to know you've figured out your issues. About the + nodes and Open-Shell: it was just a thought that came into my head. Open-Shell has many of these small detail settings so that's the go-to place for stuff like that.

I looked into the issue with the Explorer Navigation Pane nodes, and it does appear to be releated to Classic Theme along with SCT. If I disable SCT, then the Navigation Pane nodes appear using the Malvinas2 Classic Theme:  But as soon as I enable SCT and restart Explorer, the Navigation Pane nodes disappear:  |

I am only giving support for SCT when it is used with a vanilla Windows theme. If you use any third party aerolight/uxpatcher based themes you're on your own. I would suggest contacting the author of that theme to fix the issue because SCT is just actual classic theme and it should work with it.

If I disable SCT, then the Navigation Pane nodes appear using the Malvinas2 Classic Theme: But as soon as I enable SCT and restart Explorer, the Navigation Pane nodes disappear: That visual style is based off of the default "Aero" theme, that's why the plus buttons are 7-like. The classic theme had the buttons removed, that's why there are no plus buttons. You can easily get them back by switching from the "XP Style" navigation pane to the "Vista style" one. |

You mean in Open-Shell? I tried that... it didn't work. (Switched to Vista Style, restarted Explorer, tried rebooting, still didn't work.)
Maybe I'll try a different classic theme. It's not a big deal, just a minor annoyance.

I haven't really found another classic theme that looks as "correct" as the Malvinas one, so I guess this will have to remain an unfixable quirk. Too bad it isn't something simple that wouldn't require a lot of time and/or work to fix.

Idk , "Screenshots of GUI (v1.0.6) running on Windows 10 Pro (version 1903) and Windows 8.1 Pro (build 9600):"
but if is not, maybe better to write it on first page.
I was searching for your 2016 versoin of windows but i read it doesnt support VP9.

But SCT should start ApplicationFrameHost itself anyway? I was talking about the info on page 22 of this thread, which mentioned a batch file. I never even knew the private alpha had a batch file. Also, the non-private alphas I'm pretty sure don't start ApplicationFrameHost. |

Hello, This application seems to assume that I have an application named "SCT.exe" installed at C:\SCT, which I do not have. If you could link me to that, that would be much appriciated! Image of error attached  |

Was really eager to try this project but does not seem to be working at all for me. I downloaded the SimpleClassicTheme.exe, copied/renamed to C:\SCT and followed the Guide in the OP but none of the options in the program seem to be working. When I click enable theme, nothing happens. When I check classic taskbar, nothing happens. I'm running version 1.1.2 of SCT and Windows 10 20H2

Could you create an issue on GitHub? It would be easier to help you there.
