Here it is all in one.

Classic Shell is used to change the start button start menu and OldNewExplorer is used to make Windows Explorer (File Explorer) work like it used to.
EDIT: I would've put in the startup sound but it's the same as Windows 10's startup sound, although I'm not sure about windows 8. I WILL put it in if a comment says it's not.
EDIT2: Aw man, I forgot to put gadgets in the .ZIP file. Well I might as well put it in when a comment says so.

What is this for? Making newer Windows look like 7?

Classic Shell was (and is) a fine software to make Windows more usable, but development ended in December 2017 and it will most likely not be compatible with future versions of Windows 10 – that defeats the purpose of Classic Shell. According to [Wikipedia] there is a fork named Open-Shell [Github]. No idea how active the new project is. For my only modern Windows computer (typewriter, quick surf tablet, e-book reader) the bad new UI is no problem so I did not try to change it.

Would be more impressive to make modern Windows really (not just a half-baked skin) look and feel like 2000 or 98SE (or earlier).
