Running Old Explorers on Windows 10!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 тра 2021
- Hi guys! Here I tested what will happen if you ran explorers from Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, Whistler(XP Beta), XP, Vista, 7 and 8.1 on (btw yea I had try that on my real PC) Windows 10 1511!
!!!BEFORE U WATCH!!!
If you new here, I recommend you to watch my newest videos, because here I have REALLY Bad InGlIš and before u start commenting me: "Your english sucks, Unsub", Check please the date of this video then also too, Thank you:3
How do you get those explorers and how to get them to myself?
(This question ask me already 88 people on my comments, so that I will not replying the same thing here.. well I put Tutorial here)
I DIDN'T get those explorers from websites, friends idk.. because why I even do that? If I have windows installations (*.iso files) and know where they are in those (someone sayed that this is fake and windows files aren't in ISO files.. that comment was been removed by the user itself, if I answered him that EVERY windows media in. MUST HAVE some files to install.. Microsoft is lazy to put just an encripted code and if it start to install, it will NOT creating the files from its Source code (logic, that is why we didn't have Vista, 7.. Source codes lol), It will only extract those files and set up the NTFS and registry, to it ran propertly.)
--------------
So, how to get those? (This is method for Vista, 7, 8.1, 10 and 11)
1.If you have an ISO media file (If not, install him, etc. from malwarewatch.org)
Then download 7-Zip (or if you have WinRAR or WinZip, it work too)
2.Now go to the ISO medium file, right click and select Open With
3.There set the Open With to 7-Zip (or winrar whatever), 7-Zip u find here: C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7zFM.exe
4.Then click Open and it must pop-up the files what are on that ISO file
5.There go to "sources" and find a file called "install.wim" or if it will be not, then "install.esd"
6.Right click on that file and select "Open Inside" and it will pop-up a window for waiting..
7.Now it should be there already windows files (Windows, Program Files..), but IF IT DIDN'T, u must see some nunbers, those num. are Editions, what that ISO have, so if you didn't what edition it is, I recommend u to check on Virtual Machine to run that ISO, And how they are sorted on VM, by that are also the editions! So select the edition u want copy the exp. from..
8.Go there to Windows folder and there we go, now right click on that explorer and select "Copy To", sel. the folder where u want him to extract and enjoy!
Now 95 to XP
1.Do the same way as in Vista+ method, to Step 4.
2.Go to folder "i368" and find "EXPLORER.EX_"
3.Right click, select Open Inside
4.There on that exp. click on "Copy To" and u have it.

From this idea I've been inspirated by Endermanch, he only made a video (link I can't find.. sorry) what will happen if you ran Vista's and XP's exp. on Windows 7 (he also tries LogonUIs), but not in Windows 10, so I think it is my original video by this!

that.. will be mystery.. but i think that microsoft doesn't want to do make a new windows.. idk you must say ms you it self ;D

Wow, UA-cam recommended this after 2 years. I will definitely check your channel.
For the older explorers there are 2 reasons they didn't work,
Reason 1: The Windows 95/98/ME explorers are for their 9x kernel, whereas modern Windows is built on NT
Reason 2: Older versions of Windows by default would place you in session 0 where other apps ran, but now in newer versions (post XP) you are in session 1 and after Windows 10, session 0 is for the system only and can't be accessed by the user
2 years and this popped up, nice one
I love how the icons and the desktop fallback color are pulled from each explorer you tried
The reason old explorers don't work on Windows 10 is because Windows OS's used to be based on MS-DOS. Windows XP is no longer based on MS-DOS so Windows 10 is compatible with Windows XP explores up to Windows 10.
true c:, but wait, then why btw also the win 2000 explorer didn't work, if he is also based on NT?
@@krr1751 NT is based on MS-DOS so it should not work. But you can use a Windows 10 Explorer on Windows 11.
@@RalphyTheCoyote yeaa, that I know, but with the Windows 10 and 11 it is different, the Win.11 is already the win.10 one, but only with some regedit tweaks and UWP functions, and only if you replace them, it will fail to run the tweaks, and then the win. will run the basics of the explorer
And NT is'nt based on MS-DOS, it is completly different File system, like MS-DOS uses COMMAND.COM file, so then NewTechnology uses a Hidden folder called "[SYSTEM]", amd there is for example Logfile.sys or etc, I don't remember that all, but for the drivers, and basicly for working, it uses this folder
the operating systems that have WinNT as the kernel are:
Windows NT (mainly server systems)
Windows 2000
Windows XP
Windows Vista
Windows 7
Windows 8.x
Windows 10
Windows 11
the betas from these systems (Whistler, Longhorn etc) should also work.
You have summoned the geometry dash community
ℹ️ Did you know Windows 10 Explorer works surprisingly well on Windows 11? 😉
XD from that i make video about 🤣
I think because it has the same kernel
@@gurillamann6534 That's possible. ☺
@AerGlass thats right! B)
Yes
I expected none of these to work, so I was kinda surprised. I wonder if the XP one would work better if you had all the dependent files in their correct locations?
I doo xdd, the explorers had originally runned of specific location in my second drive, here I was also wonder that it will work normally, but that I cutted out.. and use the another explorer that where on the location
kid KRR was that :((
it's actually amazing Windows XP explorer works at all considering it was made for a much older NT version
Which versions of windows from xp to 8.1 based on, x86 or x64? And what’s the architecture of ur windows 10.
bruh.. the windows 10 has a 1511 version on it.. with 64-bit, and all explorers what i show you, there are 32-bit xdd
Som rád, že sa už tomuto typu videí venuje aj naša scéna. Prajem veľa šťastia v budúcej tvorbe

You should have tried replacing the actual Windows 10 explorer.exe with the older ones. Maybe if you did that then the Windows 7 and 8 explorers would work as the shell. However surprized that Windows XP's explorer even works on Windows 10. I was however expecting Windows 7 and 8's explorer to partially function tho.
lol, in that video I used 1511
Cool Idea! Im defenetly trying it too. Subscribed :)

I don't know why use the Songs from Geometry Dash
because LOOK AT THE DATE D:
+ to my newer videos lool
I wonder, if you change shell in registry editor, and run userinit.exe instead of explorer.exe, would windows 7, and 8.1 shells work?
they will if the explorer executable from 10 is replaced with the older one.
bs, this only works on 1507
never knew a geometry dash main level song would be used in a video
most DoS apps run perfectly on windows 8/8.1.
edit: you should run these programs on a VM (virtual machine) instead of your real PC, as this can really harm it because you are attempting to run DoS programs on a kernel that can not run DoS programs, even in compatibility mode.
Geometry dash player and techtuber love this.
How windows vista taskbar start with black box?!?!
Windows explorers need some other files to work such as dll and so on, and it's better if they are directly in Windows folder! (so they have the optimal configuration to hope to work, because they are in the same root than on the old windows and they have access to the most of files they may need!)
hmm 🤔
"No Background Has Detect :("
got me rolling 🤣🤣
lol, i like this background, why not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think that the explorer from 9x was based off MS-DOS and Whistler's had to get some files from the drive, but the XP one is the first one with NT that can work alone.
i think this same (;
Wondering why windows 2000’s explorer didint work
ok
@@krr1751 bro over a year later??? 😐
about a year i was a kid lol
I once managed to run Windows 7 build 6801's explorer in Windows 10 build 1703 (way back in 2017), and the start menu and desktop didn't work, but I got XP/Vista style open programs in taskbar and a Windows 7 style system tray menu (but the "Customize" button didn't work"). I tried so in Windows 11 also, but then explorer crashes
cool that you too experiments with explorers ;)
@@krr1751 I will install the windows 10 explorer on 11 because i've heard it works
@@regav62 cool
They've probably changed something with 7's explorer, and since microsoft just builds on top of old windows, the error will persist on 8 and 8.1's explorer.
props the shell has been excluded from the explorer.…
your english so good like your computer knowledge
not that all bro xd, but on my newest videos are my english better, "much" better
in this video it was Kid in Action, not gonna lie, and i was knew about your message "ironic"
I love the fact that windows added win98 compatibility mode which doesnt work on actual windows 95/98 programs
Yeah because win98/95 is DOS based and windows 10 is fully NT
Mluvím jen málo česky, ale tato videa jsou úžasná!
how did you get the xp compatibility mode for the xp explorer? the options are missing for me
I run him in my extracted windows xp directory instead from desktop, but xp compatibillity in windows 10/11 are there normally, sometimes it detect automaticly or go to properties of that explorer and there u get compatibillity settings of that file. I showed in this video but yeah.. it's Czech ik, my stupid old KRR did that ._. :(
Some start buttons dont work because of the updated start menu, so some of the explorers get confused and dont open the start menu (i think), also, immediately make sure that you fix any corrupted file.
ik.. this was only a test, and the explorers aren't downloaded from the internet.. it was grabed from iso files, so, the explorers are working fine
ah yes a classic fingerbang i remember when i was playing geometry dash and completing level with this music
are the windows xp and onward explorers 32 bit or 64 bit cuz that could make a big difference
oh thats good question, well.. all this explorers are 32-bit, and my pc have windows for 64-bit, yea i think that it make big difference
windows has an automatic 32-bit mode on 64-bit systems so that ain’t a problem
Some explorers wont work due to the fact that they werent made to work on the Windows NT kernel
Why’d you do Whistler beta, but not Chicago, Longhorn, etc?
because i dont have this windowses :)
Where can I get the explorer files
appears on my homepage. and i like about this video
Can you do old windows themes in new windows next? I believe they are incomptible so you have to copy thr textures using something like mssyteseditor and then you must patch them for them to work using SecureUxThemePatcher
hmmm i can try it :D
nice video!
Fun fact: its not the classic theme, but it is the closest you can get in windows 10/11 😂
It reminded me ports of Blackbox for Windows - they could be used instead of the original explorer.exe and provides pretty good functionality
huh?
I think if use windows xp original theme on windows 10 the windows xp explorer will works perfect but it need some files from xp to work
the 9x and ME explorers didnt ran, because they arent NT apps.
Woah Win10 with classic theme
fingerdash, CUBE
Super video pokračuj 👍
When you set it to "classic theme" it's just the high contrast theme
ik, it is the same thing
For working this without shell - you need to kill standart process "explorer" and then run other explorers
And many explorers not running because there no have old files from old Windows
thats right.. i give you an easter egg on my video from where i runned the explorer xdd
I can't believe how toxic some people are being in these comments. Who cares if your video style is similar to Enderman's? It's a good idea, a nice video, and It's still unique. I subscribed and enjoyed this video a lot!
awwwww thank you :))
i like how you using fingerbang as the song for it
Nice video
everything from before xp was MS-DOS based while xp and onwards were NT based so thats why they didnt run at all, try the actual NT series and see if they work
U forgot to Windows 2000 too xDD, but yea, I know that it work, thx btw.
@@krr1751 oh yeah sorry i always get 2000 an ME mixed

I think you confused an explorer with another explorer with Windows 8.1, unless you can provide evidence that it's the right files.
File Explorer is the file I think that got opened. Not the gui taskbar explorer.
I know, and I even ran him in a specific folder with own his windows files, but the taskbar(on win 11 exp. it isn't anymore but) win 9x - win 10(main and to last version 1809), the taskbar is FULLY explorer.exe, and then Windows 11 came out, and microsoft was lazy to modify the code of the explorer, so then he add some UWP Patch ONLY, with program "sihost.exe" and "ApplicationFrameHost.exe", and yes, if they're be not in the windows(in 11 still we are), well, the taskbar will be broken and buggy.. and to fix this, just do some registry stuff, to enable again the windows 10 gui, that are hidden in the explorer..
so no, these explorers I used, do his shell only by his self, but for compatibillity, I still ran them on the external folder.
I think because theyre possible MS-DOS?
0:37 "he is all explorers" XDDDDD
xddd ye my old english :D
@@krr1751 me old english as well (:
hearing fingerdash on this was funny
And no, Win7 and above of course they didn't start in shell mode... it needs to be registered as shell in the Registry first! HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell and change the path to the other Explorer then run userinit otherwise it will run the same Win10 explorer that ran in the video
lol this hkey i know :D yea i try this one more, and it didn't start xd
the reason why win 95, 98 and ME won't work it's because from win xp to 8.1 is based on windows NT
ye truth
true
and windows 10 is based on windows NT too 😊
Sorry to disappoint you, but since Windows 7, you start the respective Explorer of the old version, but the command is redirected to your "new" Explorer from the main system. You can see that pretty quickly at 13:00 or is this Windows 7 Explorer from a secret Windows 7 beta that I don't know about, where Explorer already has ribbon bars and Windows 8 icons?
This is the same method used to redirect alternate MediaPlayer "mplayer2" to Windows Media Player when open. This is also used with write.exe, it redirects to wordpad.
ehm.. i used explorer from Win 7 Service pack 1, and year 2009, this is not a beta..

impossible, I can't do that if I know that it will didn't work
It's not possible because newer versions of Windows Explorers will guaranteed use newer APIs, because Microsoft wants to show off their new features through Windows Explorer. And the older versions would simply make it crash because it is calling an API that doesn't exist
