Since explorer patcher does not work in earlier windows versions can the approach it uses to remove navbar in 11 be utilized to go about this conundrum in 1703?
If there is one thing that makes that patcher any worthy it is its capacity to remove the navbar
Otherwise the only roundabout left is running ahk and ahk is not precisely elegant way to go about it. It loads too late
Anyway no version of patcher does the job on 1703 nor does it load the options popup nor does it create any keys under CurrentVersion\Explorer
In fact on 11 explorer patcher never affects / replaces {056440FD-8568-48e7-A632-72157243B55B} which is weird
Does anyone know how navbar can be removed in a genuine way through registry in 1703?

There is a WindHawk mod that removes the navbar.

There is a WindHawk mod that removes the navbar. Sure there is. windhawk is not suitable for my needs
Have you gotten any luck with this clsid {056440FD-8568-48e7-A632-72157243B55B} , ever?
Search box , search button , search edit are referenced within 20482 ASCII stylesheet in explorerframe.dll
there is a decent chance of navbar being controlled by the same stylesheet
One thing I have down pat is this (and I have tested it many a time): explorer does work with 40960 removed but NOT when you wipe 20482
if 20482 is removed explorer would not open
I remember someone on win7 boards saying retarded BS about navbar CLSID, like they found that one in explorerframe code
obviously CLSID in question is not there, it just links to explorerframe in registry
but removing it does not remove navbar in x64 windows
Anyway, have any of you had any luck with navbar apart from direct code injection via standalone tools?

It is also possible to use ExplorerPatcher.

Personally, no. Before, an AHK script created by anixx was used, but it seems to me that it also used the code injection technique. |

Here is the script:
Explorer Patcher implementation and the WindHawk mod are based on this code.

This CLSID only removes navbar from the open/save dialogs.

I just took a cursory glance at windhawk code snippet vs explorer patcher code
windhawk code looks at dwStyle of the newly created window
if it finds this value 1174405120 it returns 0 destroying the control
AND windhawk needs to run in the background for this to take effect
explorer patcher does also look at the CLSID stemming from new window then destroys the control if it finds what it looks for:
Here, speech is about seamless approach to removing the navbar without scripts / code injectors running in the backdrop

This is the reason I even created this thread. I need it be gone from explorer. This discussion has long legs but has been rather unproductive over the years / months owing to lack of insight into how they implemented the navbar in the first place. |

There is no known way to remove the navbar without background tasks. We only know how to kill the object in a specific window after the object was creaed.

Use the AHK script.
