ViveTool and new Navigation Pane W11 (22621.2134)

tistou77 · Aug 28, 2023

Hello

I am using Vivetool with this command vivetool /disable /id:36354489 to disable the new Navigation Pane
Since the last CU (2134), it no longer works

Does anyone have another solution or if knows where the corresponding file is (to try to modify this) ?

Thanks so much for your help

Salut,

If you run from cmd:

vivetool /query > YOURDRIVE:\YOURFOLDER\vivetool.txt

Open the vivetool.txt file.
What name is attached to feature ID: 36354489?
I don't think you can use that ID anymore as most of the code attached to the old exploerr (non UWP) is now gone.

Thanks for your help
I had already looked and there is no longer this ID

Yes, the reference and the code are no more.

I would look with the CU 1992, what was the name of the ID
To see if it is possible to modify the corresponding file (or to put an old version) but I did not find which file corresponds to the Navigation Pane

No, I would not recommend that as there is much more than one file.
It is a new architecture.

I did it with Task Manager (to have the one from W10) and my Windows 11 is personalized everywhere, so no big worries (unless the file is signed, I should try otherwise)

If I find the file, I'll try but I'm not looking for more than that

Good luck then.
Why did you install Windows 11 if you are bringing stuff back from 10?

Thanks

Just Task Manager from W10, I don't like the one from 11,
Too rough, no border on the graphics, the "Mica" (color) of the title bar, etc...
And I also use StartAllBack (to remove Mica from the title bar of explorer windows, among other things)

For the rest, it's several icons modified in the appropriate .dll and a custom theme (replaced the default one, aero.msstyles)

And Windows 10 will no longer be supported in a few years, so don't use it anymore
After if MS didn't do ugly things

It's explorerframe the file in question, it works but not really the same appearance as before (it's a little tighter)

I put the "normal" Navigation Pane back but I'm still wondering why MS has separated Home from the pinned entries (Home is on its own)
It would have been better to put the pinned entries with Home
