I made a small tool for those who want to replace the stock-Explorer with their favourite dj-application.

i downloaded it, but how exactly does it work?
It got 2 buttons
- Click the left one
- choose an .exe-file
- Reboot
- Enjoy
but what purpose would this serve? i can run installer instead of explorer.exe? or traktor on start up?Quote:

You can run an alternate filemanager or a DJ app instead of Explorer.
If Traktor crashes it should reload itself (however I didn't test that).
It's niché (like a lot of stuff I do), but for a few it will be handy.
sorry if im annoying, but what other file managers could be used with it
Traktor ?
No, not really.
Programs like the Total Commander or whatever you like.
Here's the scenario I created the tool for:
I worked at Innovation-forum which contains a few multitouch tables, touchscreens and a lot more.
Now it destroys the illusion of a futuristic interface if you see plain Windows OS. Therefore I created a custom application-menu and replaced the Explorer with it.
So everytime you start the devices all you see is my cool application chooser.
How would you go about re-enabling explorer.exe?
The application has two buttons. The seconds one does that.
After disabling explorer you can still bring up the taskmanager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) and start Explorer or whatever you want manually.
So it's still running all of the other windows services in the background?Quote:
