ReactOS includes 2 special shell locations: System Registry and NT Object Namespace These are handled by a NTObjShEx.dll file. You can get it from an x64 copy of ReactOS, put it in system32 Then, you can import these 2 registry files: After that, you will already be able to open these shell locations with the following commands: NT Object Namespace: explorer.exe shell:::{845b0fb2-66e0-416b-8f91-314e23f7c12d} System Registry: explorer.exe shell:::{1c6d6e08-2332-4a7b-a94d-6432db2b5ae6} If you want to add these folders in My Computer, just like in ReactOS, add these 2 CLSIDs to the following location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace |

What i know is the System Registry is for viewing registry folders without using regedit. But you can only view it and not edit it without opening Registry Editor. |

i did send a link to it in this post, but it just didn't highlight for some reason It's not highlighted because of the parentheses. To highlight a link with parentheses, insert a space between the parentheses and the link. Example : (https://github.com/OrthodoxWindows/ThemeSwitcherScripts) ( github.com/OrthodoxWindows/ThemeSwitcherScripts ) |

I wonder, what could be potential use cases for this? It seems, this data cannot be chaged from the shell? It seems that even changing permissions is not possible...

I posted this more as a curiosity, to show that porting these shell locations from ReactOS to Windows is possible. And I guess it could be useful if someone ends up making their OS look like ReactOS, or if they want to simply see a registry value without opening regedit, from within Explorer

Out of topic but how did you make the refresh button wider, It was too thin in 1803 to 1903. He is using the default theme. I am not talking about the theme. In 1803 the refresh button normally looks like this,frame around the refresh icon is too thin. Attachments:

Honestly, I'm not sure which one of the changes I did made it wider, i thought it was the explorerframe.dll mod but apparently no, as even when i took my host's explorerframe.dll and put it in a VM, nothing changed. (it was to fix the weird spacing with the Tiles view on 1709/1803 that i modded Explorerframe for) |

Could you send both of your 32 and 64 bit explorerframe dlls please? I wanna take a look at them. |
