Is it possible to enable Windows 10 File Explorer in Windows 11 Enterprise/IoT Enterprise (N) LTSC 2024?
Create a .reg file and run it with the following text: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Blocked] "{e2bf9676-5f8f-435c-97eb-11607a5bedf7}"="{d93ed569-3b3e-4bff-8355-3c3f4f4856cc}" Once you run the .reg file, reboot the computer. If you need to revert the changes, create another .reg file with the following and run it: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Blocked] "{e2bf9676-5f8f-435c-97eb-11607a5bedf7}"=- Update: Disregard... this method is outdated.
I checked and it looks like the method is outdated. Seems the only way is to use a 3rd party program (e.g. ExplorerPatcher)
don't know if this is what you are looking for, but its what i use ClassicExplorer.bat Code: @Echo Off Reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{2aa9162e-c906-4dd9-ad0b-3d24a8eef5a0}" /ve /t REG_SZ /d "CLSID_ItemsViewAdapter" /f Reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{2aa9162e-c906-4dd9-ad0b-3d24a8eef5a0}\InProcServer32" /ve /t REG_SZ /d "C:\Windows\System32\Windows.UI.FileExplorer.dll_" /f Reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{2aa9162e-c906-4dd9-ad0b-3d24a8eef5a0}\InProcServer32" /v "ThreadingModel" /t REG_SZ /d "Apartment" /f Reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{6480100b-5a83-4d1e-9f69-8ae5a88e9a33}" /ve /t REG_SZ /d "File Explorer Xaml Island View Adapter" /f Reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{6480100b-5a83-4d1e-9f69-8ae5a88e9a33}\InProcServer32" /ve /t REG_SZ /d "C:\Windows\System32\Windows.UI.FileExplorer.dll_" /f Reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{6480100b-5a83-4d1e-9f69-8ae5a88e9a33}\InProcServer32" /v "ThreadingModel" /t REG_SZ /d "Apartment" /f Reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\ShellBrowser" /v "ITBar7Layout" /t REG_BINARY /d "13000000000000000000000020000000100001000000000001000000010700005e01000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000" /f Pause restart explorer with Task Manager
I am not sure what the above does exactly, but I hate having to install Windows again, so how do I revert the changes? Is the new Windows Version and Explorer changes the result of a recent update?
