I was wondering about getting an explorer window to look a little more classic (specifically the toolbars), so I decided to open up Window Detective and mess around with some of the window styles. This is what I came up with:  I'll admit, it's not perfect. In fact, it's rather volatile in its current state. Aside from some obvious padding issues, one of the most annoying problems with this is with the Classic Shell Explorer toolbar. Adding a border to the top of it makes it so the icons are invisible until you adjust the size of the toolbar manually, and sadly this doesn't survive resizing the window. But hey, Classic Shell is open source now, so who knows? Maybe this is fixable. I will say that the border around all the toolbars does work pretty reliably after resizing the window (before you do that, it might get cut off on the bottom).
Anyway, I just thought I'd share this. Hopefully one day, we can have an efficient way to automate something like this (possibly through AutoHotKey, or some other method).EDIT (8/30/2018): Here's a usable version of this that looks similar to what's seen in the image: #NoTrayIcon
#NoEnv
Gui +LastFound
hWnd := WinExist()
SetControlDelay, -1
DllCall( "RegisterShellHookWindow", UInt,hWnd )
MsgNum := DllCall( "RegisterWindowMessage", Str,"SHELLHOOK" )
OnMessage( MsgNum, "ShellMessage" )
Return
ShellMessage(wParam,lParam) {
If (wParam = 1 or wParam = 6) ; HSHELL_WINDOWCREATED := 1
{
WinGetClass, WinClass, ahk_id %lParam%
if (WinClass = "CabinetWClass") {
Control, Style, +0x800000, ReBarWindow322, ahk_id %lParam%
Control, Style, +0x00000400, ReBarWindow322, ahk_id %lParam%
Control, Style, -0x0000200, ReBarWindow322, ahk_id %lParam%
ControlGetPos,,,,h, ReBarWindow322, ahk_id %lParam%
ControlMove, ReBarWindow322,,,,h+1, ahk_id %lParam%
ControlMove, ReBarWindow322,,,,h, ahk_id %lParam%
}
}
}
Old version (outer border only):
#NoTrayIcon
#NoEnv
Gui +LastFound
hWnd := WinExist()
SetControlDelay, -1
DllCall( "RegisterShellHookWindow", UInt,hWnd )
MsgNum := DllCall( "RegisterWindowMessage", Str,"SHELLHOOK" )
OnMessage( MsgNum, "ShellMessage" )
Return
ShellMessage(wParam,lParam) {
If (wParam = 1 or wParam = 6) ; HSHELL_WINDOWCREATED := 1
{
WinGetClass, WinClass, ahk_id %lParam%
if (WinClass = "CabinetWClass") {
Control, Style, +0x800000, ReBarWindow322, ahk_id %lParam%
}
}
}

I'm using your AutoHotKey method.

Also, for anyone wondering exactly how I did this: First, I used @annix's AutoHotKey script for the ClientEdge and to hide the NavBar. Next, I used Window Detective to add a WS_BORDER style to the parent (ReBarWindow32) of the Explorer toolbars. I had to resize the window for the bottom of the border to display properly. I then removed the CCS_NODIVIDER style from the Classic Shell Explorer toolbar, and changed its height from 22 (which seems to be the default size for 16x16px icons at 96dpi) to 24. Also, I hid the command bar/folder band by editing ShellStyle.dll in system32. For details on how to do this, please see this tutorial. I recommend using the following padding, rather than what's in the tutorial for more accurate results: <Element padding="rect(0rp,0rp,0rp,-29rp)"/> |

I think one can delete the navbar permanently by deleting the resource in Explorerframe.dll. I did not try it though.

When viewing with ResourceEditor.exe (the one for which I started a thread here) there are multiple resources of the type "menu". Possibly, one of them is the navbar. |

I think I tried before the greater values but it did not work. Now I tried again and indeed 29 completely hides the command bar. But with such setting, the command bar is totally unaccessible (no way to adjust icon sizes for instance). I think, -30 works even better (makes the menu look like in Notepad). Possibly, we can make the value even less so to hide the navbar as well? |

Unfortunately, the navbar is completely separate. Shellstyle.dll only affects the folder view, which the command bar is technically part of.

Winfile (the original File Manager) has been released as open source by MS: github.com/Microsoft/winfile/releasesI know it's not Explorer, but could this be worked on, to make it look like Win95/98 File Explorer? I ask only if it's possible, not for anyone to actually do it, mind. |

I highly doubt that MS released a new/old version of their file manager that needs visual c from 2015 but anyway. At least Cylance thinks that this file might be unsafe. But you can get an older version of file manager to run on newer operating systems. How it's done is explained here: people.ee.ethz.ch/~davidsch/vistafm/ |

Strange...
I would have never thought that.
But still, the version isn't the original version but a modified one.

I did some more messing around with this, and I came up with something pretty decent that's actually usable. Here's what it looks like:  And here's the code for it: #NoTrayIcon
#NoEnv
Gui +LastFound
hWnd := WinExist()
SetControlDelay, -1
DllCall( "RegisterShellHookWindow", UInt,hWnd )
MsgNum := DllCall( "RegisterWindowMessage", Str,"SHELLHOOK" )
OnMessage( MsgNum, "ShellMessage" )
Return
ShellMessage(wParam,lParam) {
If (wParam = 1 or wParam = 6) ; HSHELL_WINDOWCREATED := 1
{
WinGetClass, WinClass, ahk_id %lParam%
if (WinClass = "CabinetWClass") {
Control, Style, +0x800000, ReBarWindow322, ahk_id %lParam%
Control, Style, +0x00000400, ReBarWindow322, ahk_id %lParam%
Control, Style, -0x0000200, ReBarWindow322, ahk_id %lParam%
ControlGetPos,,,,h, ReBarWindow322, ahk_id %lParam%
ControlMove, ReBarWindow322,,,,h+1, ahk_id %lParam%
ControlMove, ReBarWindow322,,,,h, ahk_id %lParam%
}
}
}
As mentioned previously, this is heavily based on anixx's ClientEdge script, and it works in a very similar manner. Feel free to let me know if there are any issues with it. |

You resize it twice? Why?
