@theshatterstone54 @olympus Yes, you can remove explorer.exe and run an alternative shell. I've done it.
How? Please, please let me know. That sounds like a fun project, and I've already got a Windows VM I don't use.
@theshatterstone54 It basically a registry entry that you change.
I’ve used litestep in the past for about 10 minutes.
But there are others:
