mayamaniac Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 was afraid to click on an .exe made by someone named trojan, but it seems safe. :p very cool little gadget though, keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexandre. Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 @kiall:to install it to work with your main explorer navigate to C:/Windows(WinNT)/Sytem32 and find explorer.exe and rename it to explorer.exe.bak(incase something goes wrong)then just drag the vista explorer.exe into system32 and there you go! edit: sorry before when i posted i acidently clicked add reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porky Posted July 26, 2005 Author Share Posted July 26, 2005 I don't think that would work, Agent Alexandre... explorer contains a bunch of icons, string tables, and context menus that Vista Explorer doesn't contain. It would be like renaming Internet Explorer, and sticking it in System32... just wouldn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nexus- Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 is resizing the window going to be possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porky Posted July 26, 2005 Author Share Posted July 26, 2005 Thank you for all the awesome comments! Yes... I do plan on implementing resizing and maximizing, but right now I need to get somebody to do that for me. I will eventually learn code* so that I can do all that and more to make this a useable explorer/browser. In order to put in resizing, however... I would have to cut-up the backround and kick up the memory usage (which is already around 22k, for me). The glass and shadows are actually one image, to save memory. *Yes that's right, I don't know code. What are you going to do about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porky Posted July 26, 2005 Author Share Posted July 26, 2005 *UPDATE!* I updated the file on Deviant Art. I removed the menu bar, because it looked awful with top shellstyle themes and did absolutely nothing as of yet. I would like some feedback on that. What would I put on the menu bar? Do you want the menu bar? Anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
