This is for Windows 10.
Is there a way to replace explorer.exe with, for example, a powershell script?
I'm looking to start a custom shell application without having to have explorer.exe run in the background or handle the startup of those items.
EDIT: Since I'm getting down voted... I was capable of doing something similar in Windows Embedded 7 Standard. I added a key called Shell to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
The key added there had Powershell.exe with command line options to execute script silently. There I was able to execute my custom shell.
This does not work with Windows 10.
