Hi guys new here so please go easy on me :oops: I want to know how Classicshell manages to disable the charms bar/hot corners fully. I mean I know what option to set and everything but I'm wondering how it manages it, I'm concerned that it's hooking into a DLL somewhere to achieve this or does it enter some entries in the registry?

any information would be fantastic!!

The start menu has a DLL that is injected into the main Explorer process. It shows the start menu, the start button, and disables the corners. The corners are disabled by hiding the 4 invisible windows in the corners.

Best part is that they remain operational in Metro. :D
