ExplorerPatcher

ExplorerPatcher

This project aims to enhance the working environment on Windows.

How to?

1. Download the latest setup program from the Releases page.
   • Choose ep_setup.exe if your device uses an Intel or AMD processor, or ep_setup_arm64.exe if your device uses a Snapdragon processor.
2. Run the installer. It will automatically prompt for elevation, after which it will close explorer.exe and install the necessary files. When done, you will see the desktop again and the Windows 10 taskbar.
3. Right-click the taskbar and choose "Properties".
4. To change the taskbar style, go to the "Taskbar" section and look for "Taskbar style".
5. To use the Windows 10 Start menu, go to the "Start menu" section and change the Start menu style to Windows 10.
6. To use the Windows 10 Alt+Tab, go to the "Window switcher" section and change the "Window switcher (Alt+Tab) style" to Windows 10.
7. Feel free to check other configuration options.

That's it!
