For now, I here. I still have some problems to solve (especially about the Open-Shell toolbar). Update : Many problems have been resolved, especially the most visible.
WARNING : This tutorial is under construction; Please do not use it until its realization is finished.
This tutorial is tested under Windows 10 21H2, but it worked from Windows 10 1809, up to Windows 11. For older versions, almost everything is achievable, but the realization differs.
1. Software prerequisites
1. A way to activate the classic theme with management of the explorer.exe process
2. A 100 % DPI resolution, or the tools Windows 10 DPI Fix ( www.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Enhancements/Other-Desktop-Enhancements/Windows-10-DPI-Fix.shtml) installed.
3. A Open-Shell installation ( github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu)
4. A ExplorerPatcher installation ( github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher)
5. FileTypeManager, in order to write some associations cleanly ( www.nirsoft.net/utils/file_types_manager.html)
6. AutoRuns ( docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns), ShellMenuView ( www.nirsoft.net/utils/shell_menu_view.html), and ShellExView ( www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html), to manage the features and the explorer menu.
7. ShellMenuNew ( www.nirsoft.net/utils/shell_menu_new.html), OpenWithView ( www.nirsoft.net/utils/open_with_view.html), and ShellBagsView ( www.nirsoft.net/utils/shell_bags_view.html)
8. ShellFolderFix ( www.majorgeeks.com/mg/getmirror/shellfolderfix,1.html)
9. Some AHK scripts : ShellIconMgr by anixx and R.O.B. ( www.mediafire.com/file/35qmjo7ma0q0wcw/ShellIconSizeMgr.zip/file), and 3D Toolbar script by The Jackal (link soon)
