| Well, there are plenty of Explorer replacements out there. Making one from scratch is years of work. You'll have better luck starting with one that is closer to what you want and suggest to its author to add the missing features. I understand that you are a one man army which may make things diffic... |

| Hi Anixx, please have a look at viewtopic.php?f=13&t=5326&p=23882#p23882 and please support on the thread if you'd like to see a separate go menu entry. This will enable a custom menu bar, which you can add a 'go' entry to. |

| I think some folder integrated like the Desktop into the main menu which provides direct 1-click access to icons (without any submenu) is a good idea. But it needs to be designed a way that it uses the screen estate horizontally, like the Windows 10 menu. It can be an extension of pinning. Yeah. I ... |

| 1. from the customize start menu tab, right click and insert new item; click it and choose desktop. The windows 7 style sadly doesn't allow much modification to the left column. The classic with 2 column style however is far more lenient ;P but aside from having it on the left, and displaying the d... |

| Icon sizes are the maximum allowed size. You can put a 10 x 20 image inside a 32 x 32 icon. You can also put 80 x 120 image inside a 128 x 128 icon. The rest of the area can be transparent. Of course, you cannot mix different sizes on the toolbar. Windows does not support that. All toolbar buttons ... |

| Hiya, my idea is to have a classic explorer that I can customize with images instead of icons. This will allow me to create a true classic explorer like the one in windows 98. Also to enable a menu bar (file, edit, view..etc) http://i68.tinypic.com/wrdojt.jpg Things we'd need to make this happen: 1.... |
