Windhawk Mods (Official Topic - Please Post All Here)

dacrone · Oct 10, 2024

I'm making this thread so that we can accumulate all Windhawk mods in one location. I will continue to update this as I add more. I have been playing with this program a lot more recently and it has very nice editing capabilities. You can run it in portable or installed instance(s).
This program DOES NOT make any permanent alterations to your OS (nothing is patched). When you close Windhawk or turn a mod Off, files/resources are set back to default values.

If you would like a visual aspect modified but do not have a way to do it, feel free to ask. I may (pretty good odds) be able to do so with Windhawk.

1) Please DO NOT Spam this thread with repeated requests for the same feature edits. Once is enough.

2) If you share a mod, please link the source that you took it from. If you use another person's code to create your own, please link the cited source.

3) Please share a screenshot of your mod so that everyone knows what the final product will look like prior to importing the mod value(s)

4) Please annotate which build of Windows the mod was compiled for and/or runs on.

*You can apply multiple lines of code/multiple targets to one mod, given it is the same mod (i.e. - Notification Center Styler, you can disable the Focus Controls and Notification Center by simply adding more target/styles lines to the Details > Settings page OR you could enable Taskbar on Top mod and go to the Advanced > Mod settings box and paste the code for Windows11X Round Taskbar, and more)*

Install mod: Classic Explorer Navigation Bar
Explorer Style: Classic Navigation Bar or Classic Ribbon UI (No Tabs)
Classic Navigation Bar: Restores the Command bar location above the address bar (Pre-Moment 4 Update)
Classic Ribbon UI (No Tabs): Restores the Windows 10 Ribbon styled Explorer
*This does not show details for multiple items in the Details Pane when highlighted

Just as an FYI, the WindHawk "Classic Ribbon UI (No Tabs)" mod (and my SwitchExplorer app) apply the same registry values that are posted in the tutorial here. I pointed the WindHawk dev to those reg settings when his original ribbon UI mod stopped working due to Windows changes, but user CRUCC on YouTube gets credit as the originator. It's a bummer that mod doesn't also switch the Details pane, but thanks for pointing out OldExplorer as a workaround for that.

That video was uploaded 9 months ago according to YouTube. As you know, ExplorerPatcher also has this tweak. By the time 23H2 officially came out, this tweak had already been updated in ExplorerPatcher. The evidence is on GitHub where everyone with an internet connection can see who gets the only credit.

By the time 23H2 officially came out, this tweak had already been updated in ExplorerPatcher. The evidence is on GitHub where everyone with an internet connection can see who gets the only credit.

Both ExplorerPatcher and StartAllBack had the ability to switch the default Explorer in Windows 11 to the Windows 10 style Explorer long before that YouTube video was posted. No argument there.

However, AFAIK, that YouTube video was the first time a method was posted that does the switch with only an HKCU registry file (no admin rights or additional software required). I searched the ExplorerPatcher source code, and installed EP, to see if it uses the same technique. I could not find any registry entries that it uses to switch Explorer. It appears to do it dynamically in memory. I'm sure you'll correct me if I got that wrong.

Do you mean to tell me that modifying your Windows registry doesn't require admin rights? Also, since additional software is no longer required for this tweak on Windows 11 version 23H2 or 24H2, why did you still keep telling everyone to try your additional software named SwitchExplorer?

The technique that ExplorerPatcher uses is called voodoo. lmao

Yes! Admin rights are not required to make HKCU changes (other than HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies), otherwise Windows wouldn't work.

If you run RegEdit as a Standard user, there is no UAC prompt and you can change almost all HKCU settings. If you are logged in as an administrator, RegEdit automatically self-elevates as a convenience, but you can run it unelevated, and still change HKCU settings. Try this:

set __COMPAT_LAYER=RUNASINVOKER && start regedit

Also, since additional software is no longer required for this tweak on Windows 11 version 23H2 or 24H2, why did you still keep telling everyone to try your additional software named SwitchExplorer?

It's just a convenient method to apply or remove the registry entries for the Explorer and the context menu switch. It's nothing like installing EP or SAB. The end result is exactly the same as using the registry files provide here and here (which is stated in the readme). SwitchExplorer is a portable tool, so nothing is installed and no admin rights are required. It's totally optional, but IMO, it's easier than using than reg files.

While I'm admittedly not very good at following C/C++ code, I could not find how EP does the switch. Those HKCU registry values are not present after EP (or StartAllBack) changes to the Windows 10 Explorer. I also found no changes in HKLM\Software\Classes\CLSID. So, it must be voodoo. lmao.
