Windows Classic theme on Windows 11 and Windows 10 1903+

I don't have explorer registered as shell, and this works well. I have never seen the ribbon with this option.

In fact, it is not possible to modify the user initialization, because it is a common register key.
So I tried to disable the planned task of classic theme on a single user (not on others), but as the user initialization arrives on a disabled task, the explorer.exe process is no longer loaded (I get A black screen in the user session).

I think the ribbon is disabled by a registry key, found by our WinClassic user TechSalit. It is not introduced in EP, EP just changes that key for disabling the ribbon.

Thanks you. It therefore seems that this key disable the ribbon only in the process registered as shell. When opening an explorer window in a new process, the ribbon reappears.

This happens in two cases :

1. When I check the option "Start Folders in Separate Processes" (I don't use this option, so it does not matter for me, but some use it)
2. After closing the explorer.exe process, then I open a window of the file explorer (which starts to explore.exe without the desktop).

Or you may try to ask Vailinet, indeed. maybe he conditioned the code on whether Explorer is taskbar.

RibbonDisabler is also a great alternative for OldNewExplorer as it only changes the ribbon, and doesn't stay remnant.

The ribbon can aslo appear if you press the up button while in control panel

I confirm. I have also just realized that the ribbon reappears when opening the "This PC" file by typing the address "Explorer.exe :: {20d04fe0-3aea-1069-a2d8-08002b30309d}"
