Aero is back!

[@WinProOfficial]

nice!

When you said to find a problem, my brain was like "WINDOWS" lol. Oh and btw, at 3:23 your wrote the incorrect song name, but you did write it correctly in the description. I might give this a try once this is more stable and/or has a windows 10 taskbar/start menu version of this.

[@TheWindowsHero]

Oops, that's a copy and paste error! Forgot to change that to the correct song, i copied it from the first song 😅

[@ReaIYoBlue]

Just a tip: Using Windhawk with the "Eridicate Immersive Menus" mod should fix the context menus

[@TheWindowsHero]

@@ReaIYoBlue I didn't know that, thanks for the tip!

Nice video

cool!

Nobody: upgrade your windows bro Me: *opens winver*

[@cammy85]

The original ex7forw8 hasn't worked since Windows 8.1 and even then, you had to make a few changes to the compatibility settings on explorer.exe in the explorer7 folder: setting compatibility to Windows 7 as well as Run as administrator. This is a pre-release, so these problems will probably be fixed in time.

[@Windows_8_Lover]

great

[@MindSweptAway]

yooo!

[@cirkulx]

2:41 wait what WINDOWS 8 EXPLORER WITH START SCREEN?

[@TheWindowsHero]

Yeah! It didn't work for me yet, but it might work soon since this is just a pre release.

[@cirkulx]

@@TheWindowsHero sounds absolutely crazy if that works one day, I will try this on my own system tho

It actually restores the original explorer shell, not windows 8.1’s.

[@odessavalmy1559]

what are those widgets at the start? how can i get them

[@TheWindowsHero]

@@odessavalmy1559 It's a rainmeter skin. You can download it here: win10widgets.com/

Maybe a SAB alternative

[@Windows1011-j2]

How to install explorer 7 with hard disk?

[@TheWindowsHero]

Just do it as showed in the video. You only need a Windows 7 iso file. Do it on a vm, not your host pc since it's buggy.

[@Windows1011-j2]

Ok​@@TheWindowsHero

[@mrcxlinux]

0:37 this isn't DirectStart, it's Explorer7

[@TheWindowsHero]

@@mrcxlinux On Twitter, they said it's DirectStart while the project itself is called Explorer7.

[@ThatRandomToast]

@@TheWindowsHero You actually confused Erizur and lixkote's ones

[@TheWindowsHero]

@@ThatRandomToast Now i understand! Thanks for making it clear!

[@AlinMaria-m5v]

For fr looks kind of Windows 11

[@TheWindowsHero]

I added the kind of in the title since it's a recreation of the Windows 7 explorer shell on Windows 11, not an port.

Better than the actual windows 7 official explorer? No

[@MSWinNT]

No it’s not, they’re closed source, closed source software sucks

[@ExtremeNS3]

@@MSWinNT So all apps you use are open-source?

@@MSWinNT well how the heck is this one open-sourced?

[@WinclassicEnderboy]

@@MSWinNT So, don’t use Windows? It’s not open source, do you realise they have just made tweaks to the official windows 7 explorer, they haven’t completely recreated it from scratch
