ExplorerPatcher or StartAllBack.

(Just wondering why you marked this as Solved already???)

Sorry , still not solved !
Untill now the ExplorerPatcher does the job indeed , but its changing all other settings as well !!
Uninstalled the program , after trying it out .
So , used a backup to be sure no other items were changed .
Searching for a reg-key that will do the job ( must be possible, somehow!) , without changing other items.............

I mentioned the problems with the ExplorerPatcher ( see my previous post ) , according your tip I should use this program , it works indeed , but............it ruins other setting !
So, have to search for reg-key(s) which will do the job , without interfering in other settings............

It won't work as easy as that..., you need a program or utility that will load an alternative explorer shell, and yes, unfortunately that means a lot of other elements will change.

Here, the default settings are displayed : All features · valinet/ExplorerPatcher Wiki
If I have time later, I could summarize the elements modified by default.

Man, what items does it change, really? All it does is to enable the old Windows 10 taskbar by default. Right click the taskbar, Properties, then Taskbar style, choose Windows 11 there. Finally, click Restart File Explorer and that’s it.

" what items does it change, really? " ............it changed my widgets ( the news was gone , and it looked totally different then before ) , and maybe more !
For me the reason to roll back ( before the install of ExplorerPatcher )............
