Are you actually telling me you edit explorer.exe with a hex editor to modify its functionality?

I would still like to hear more details, like for example what changes you propose making.
Also, how that ties into my stated wish for a Windows emulation of freedesktop.org launcher categorization standards, encouraging Windows application developers to place metadata in their installers to enable automatic sorting of programs into sane category-based default locations in the Start Menu.

Did you by any chance manage to hook a true AI (your own invention I assume) into explorer.exe with your trusty hex editor?
