Maybe bettee idea to swap w7 explorer with w10 explorer?

MrJaylensaur You're looking for that happened.

@@Headshotnoby But Windows 10 can be 32bit too and Windows XP 64bit :D

@@Headshotnoby if you put the win10 explorer in winXP it won't work. It might work the other way around since the XP explorer should be a valid Win32 application in win10

Wouldn't even work though. Different kernel structures, NT versions. 2000 and XP would work slightly.

@@michalnemecek3575 No dll, and different signature. Maybe it wouldnt work.

@EddieGames You got it wrong bud. Its the explorer.exe not internet explorer (iexplorer.exe).
This is the "folder thingy" that you use to see your files. And no w10 and w7 dont use the exact same explorer.exe, nor they use the same internet explorer browser they are different versions and actually internet explorer is hidden in windows 10 it actually uses edge.

@@imlowercasebtwalso No, without DWM Windows 10 will no longer start (blackscreen) and deleting it is the only way to terminate it permanently
but i tested it in LiveCDWin10 and restored Windows 7 Basic theme but it runned DWM again

if you have a backup of this file, then you are secure

if you do not have a backup of this file, you need to Reinstall Windows or Install Linux or convert the install.esd to install.wim (store the esd in another location) and mount it and see the wim info and open notepad and select file and click open and select text documents and select all files then go to the mount folder where the version of Windows you want and copy DWM.exe

@@matyhovidea8537 The 64-bit Edition is for processors made of Itanium. You mean the x64 Edition?

@@groszak1 Yes. I have Windows XP professional x64 installed on vmware

@@michalnemecek3575 It might work in 32bit Windows 10. But finding this version is rare nowadays. Back then, finding 64bit Windows XP was rare (and still is), typical home computer wasn't 64bit in 2001, so Windows XP Home Edition was only in 32bit version. 64bit version was only for Windows XP Professional I believe (Ultimate edition was introduced in Windows Vista I guess). 32bit WinXP Explorer won't work in 64bit Windows 10. Yes, it is a valid 32bit application, however system expects the architecture of both system and Windows Explorer match at least.

But: Both Win95 and Win98 Explorers are 32bit applications, and still it seems that Win95 Explorer is incompatible with Win98, so I guess there is a version check and it will simply throw an error if the versions do not match.


Before I even get into the swapping. I’m gonna say this. I can see how this can break windows because though they look the same. Different things that are in the 98 explorer run in the background but are not in 95. Windows 95 has no idea what those files are, but they are needed. Windows 95 does not use them and then... things break.


there's a customized version of windows 98 that has the windows 95 explorer.exe 100% working.

That one is called Lite98, but there's an easier (if you know how to use command prompt) and free (Lite98 is shareware) way to do it. You need a Windows 95 cd or just the comctl32.dll, shell32.dll and explorer.exe files from Windows 95 and replace the Windows 98 ones with them. It works, but some programs may stop working properly (as far, i only have had troubles with wordpad, it doesn't open and even replacing it with its Win95 version doesn't work either).

windows 98 explorer is better anyway; most importantly it does not open a new box every folder you try to open

@@kiki88561 You can just go to the options in 95's explorer to have use the same window when you go into a subfolder. The Win98 explorer is much slower, especially if 'View as web page' is enabled.

Wdym when I tried it my vmware crashed like 10,000 times without me trying to turn it on again (the VMware application)

But thats not what we want! We want something bad. We want try original explorer!! not any modified version. Thats cheating.

Windows 8.1 and 10 explorer swapping is a better idea.-

@@rechargeablefanbutdead5082 Windows 1.01 and 2.03 use the MS-DOS Executive (MSDOS.EXE), 3.0 and 3.1 use the Program Manager (PROGMAN.EXE). This would also be impossible on most modern computers, which are 64-bit. You would have to use something like NTVDMx64 on those machines. Oh yeah, and even in Windows XP, the original Windows 1.01 programs start as a DOS window saying "This program requires Microsoft Windows." And most of the Windows 2.03 programs won't even start.

Windows 95 and 98 explorers be likin’ performing illegal operations.


There's a program called 98lite that properly swaps in the 95 explorer into either 98 or ME.


Would you like to know something weird, Windows 98 can run NT programs, but NT cannot run DOS programs without NTVDM


Try swapping the XP explorer with the 98 explorer.

Edit: Ok, XP explorer on 98 wouldnt work, maybe 3.1 explorer with the 95 explorer? Possibly XP with Vista?

Yeah the same, xp executables arent 9X compatible/valide executables, totally different kernel.

Maybe swapping from xp to vista or vista to 7 or xp to 7 or 7 to 10 would work somehow.

3.1 didn't have explorer, it had program manager. You can actually run it instead of explorer on 98 and make it work like 3.1. there's a system file and you change shell=explorer.exe to shell=progman.exe and it works. It's one of the .sys files

@@aetd106 woy can use Program manager in NT family as well up to the XP  :)

@Computer Geek hah think again! In  Windows 3.11 you can add  TCP/IP protocol  and ethernet so you can browse the internet with:
Internet explorer up to 5.0 have 16bit version for Win NT 3.x and Win 3.11
Opera have 3.6 16 bit version for 3.11
Netscape navigator have version 4.0 for 16bit Win 3.11
there are ICQ AIM and mIRC clients for 3.11
It have download manager ant FTTP clients but I do not remember the names and versions

With the right tweaks (aka compatibility mode) the Win2K explorer works... otherwise you can try an NT 5.0 beta explorer and it will work fairly well.


I’ve always wondered if you switched explorers from different windows versions. Tried it once but didn’t to do it properly.<br>Edit: when I was switching explorer on a real pc for fun when I turned it on it needed some other files to work.

But yeah, a joke i know, just stating random useless stuff here


why are you always doing something with win95 or win98? I would like to see some videos with win10 or something..


The reason they don't work is because of conpactibility. And they can't read they're own data unless a program is able to read the language it's in. A another thing why it's a failure is that of the name... You should try kernalEX or making sure the name is correct. Your welcome

You need to change windows 95 explorer name to explorer.exe not win95explorer~1.exe

Ratchanon Chamnankit When he made the command move it actually awready renamed the file.
It moved from the .../desktop /win95explorer  to c:/windows/explorer.exe.

When the names are different, windows takes the data from the old file (the bits and such) and move to a new location, but under a new name.

If it wasnt renamed to explorer.exe as you tought windows wouldnt say "explorer.exe performed an ilegal operation", but it would rather say "explorer.exe" not found, because it searches for the specific filename.

Yeah, do not use file names longer than eight characters on MS-DOS
