Alright & thanks I guess what I meant to ask for was the live tiles, come to think of it. Also, seeing as that's the "new" way to pin stuff, is there anyway to expand that space without scrolling down?
I used to use the the widget thing from windows 10 where I had all my apps pinned to the right of the start menu to prevent cluttering up the desktop... Is there any mod to get that feature back? What did W11 do with that stuff?
So it’s seeming like the way to go then would be to dig into the old explorer exe and extract and inject the proper code into the new exe. I’ve been thinking also that just using the older exe as a swap job isn’t only a security risk but can also introduce problems to performance and functionality.
