Exactly.
The current explorer is self contained and incorrect according to
true win32 shell architecture.
Our shell libraries aren’t complete enough to support the new
explorer.
Andrew Hill was working on these libraries along with a basic
ATL implementation some time ago.
I haven’t heard from him for a while now though.

Interesting... so I guess the
old explorer.exe implemented that from scratch - I guess the one in shell32 is
incomplete then right?

It is part of the shell though isn't it? If start menu
isn't part of explorer then what is it part of?

Although it seems completely non-functional in the
latest trunk builds. Start menu doesn't work, etc.

The
only people with then necessary COM and shell skills (which is only really 2 of
the ros devs) are either busy with other things or on sabbatical.

Can anybody tell me what explorer_new is
meant to be there for?
I understand people used to be working on it
before, but it seems abandoned.
