<sigh> It's just so disappointing, when it was working fine before the change. Thanks anyway.

Thank you, Neemobeer. After reading your message, I uninstalled Classic Shell and rebooted. Still not working. When I hit a letter, the letter appears in the search box of the file explorer but nothing else happens.
