Yes. That is it. I have written all instructions in my comments. Replacer is an easy to use program that will allow the shell to be replaced. Just follow its instructions and reboot. For other queries refer to my comments or PM me.

Hey, nice shell replacement but there's a problem with your dll.
When I drag a file from desktop to a folder, the file remains on a desktop
normaly, the file must move to that folder... right?

Sorry, it works here and with every one, check your system settings you might have disabled drag and drop in the Windows Registry. Try searching for the problem on Google. Yes it must move to folder, ie create a copy of itself there and so it does in my system.

May I know what is better in it? I have Reshacked into the resources and found most of the stuff that is in the shell32.dll and found commonly
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
some of the icons and avi's are actually vista -search avi for example
No windows xp logos anywhere
For example

That AVI has known to have been causing problems as it does not fit with some of the dialogues in Windows XP. Oh well I tried my best here but if you are happy with it you can use the one from Dopey Sneezy.

waging war; specifically : belonging to or recognized as a state at war and protected by and subject to the laws of war
inclined to or exhibiting assertiveness, hostility, or combativeness
You might want to check the meaning of this word??
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But what does combative and rules of war got to do with a mod? You mean combative ability with other mods? That is quite philosophical
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, no it's true and I appreciate your thoughts! If, anyway, you see from a broader perspective, everything we say is philosophy...did I say something wrong?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I love comments that make me think, and absolutely not. I love these comments of yours that show they are from you. Your philosophical touch in your comments preserves their originality
