Shell - The Essential App

"shell.shl" isn't in my Program Files for some reason 🤷‍♂

Well, it just goes to show you can't help someone who doesn't want help, lol. I love your videos, and somehow I have missed all your Windows 11 bangers for the last year! I was still under the impression it sucked. People need to stop perpetuating that crap. This, along with your nifty tool, make Windows 11 AWESOME!

can you make this work with one commander??????????

I JUST WANT LCARS BACK

ONCE A TIME AGO SHELLING was a thing.... MODED my whole laptop for LCARS and Matrix once...HOPEING win 11 UPGRADES and bakes that in

Hey Chris do you know how to add a custom image?

This is so useful

thank you

The default is awful , total agree

Ya see. I just restored the Windows 7/8/10 right click menu. It doesn't have Windows 11's nice looking appearance - but it's what I'm way more accustomed to nowadays.

Please tell us how to defend against reverse shell attacks what it is in depth etcetc

Quick access popup is pretty good too although it doesn't actually replace the context menu but worth checking out

Thank you so much for this, it looks cooler and more helpful :D

there is no format option when right clicking on a removable device, or it is just me, can that be fixed somehow?

Thanks so much! Been losing my mind with the Win 11 default menus

I can't find the link to the software in the video description or the web page linked to in the description... am I missing something obvious?

I just have one problem. When I right click the taskbar, a window pops up, but I can't click anything. The window is kind of frozen. On the rest of my system it's working. Any solutions for this problem?

Thank you Chris you videos make our life easier, Please keep going. Best tech wishes from Greece...:)

Chris to the rescue yet again. :)

Installing Shell takes away the "Format" option from the right-click menu when attempting to format a drive on the "This PC" window. I had to reverse the installation to have it back.

chris you are the best, why would microsoft make a terrible OS like this. Love all the peeps who contribute to things like these

amazing, you can also right click the task bar and it shows many things

Hi Chris,
I state that I'm not an expert but I like tinkering ... last time to install oh my posh it took me like 2 hours.
If you could automate this by adding it in your tool would be cool.

Thank you Chris

Great app. Name needs some work though.

how did you hide "Folders" in "This PC"

Chris, you think Brave is better than Mozilla? I was thinking to change, but Mozilla looks fine too, idk.

Thanks!!! I Love This!

I cant believe you forgot the most useful essential app: "Uninstall windows and install Linux" version 1.0 ! 🤣🤣🤣

Mine looks like the old windows 10 right click. But it does work.

This issa bayutiful Chris. Thx so much🙂

I just use start all back to show all options by default

I've been looking for a utility like this. Thank you!

Update ms-resource:appDisplayName UPDATE Cannot open app package This app package is not supported for installation by App Installer because it uses certain restricted capabilities.

wow. really really useful

Windows was perfect during the Windows 7 era. Now they're just changing things for change's sake.

Perfect. I really needed this and I also added shortcut to your utility tool straight from my context menu. Thank you :)

Therein lies the problem with windows, reboot after installing almost nothing.

Chris, you will know best:
what are the best Windows alternatives for macOS?
e.g.: 7-zip, Nero/CDburner XP, Rufus, Winamp

It says Register and Deregister in the Shell program window you showed when you relaunched File Explorer.. what does Shell cost?
Or is that a way of saying Deregister Shell from hooking into Windows 11?

great tool thanks chris M$ should pay you some money because you are fixing their system for free 😁

Don't mind it how is.

Is there a way to stop explorer grouping things in to recent etc...seems like I change it to a traditional view but it seems to keep going back to that..... I just want one long list to sort by time date name or ext.... I'm too old to change :)

Tried this method Chris. Powershell and CTT says all installed but nowhere to be found on my computer. So I went to Nilesoft website and installed from there. It works now. Thanks for the video.

Hi, how I can revert those changes?

Yeah, I'm just not going to upgrade.

vi este video y lo que hice fue comprar tu ctt toolbox ... gracias por tantos aportes !!

Windows has layers, like an onion!

I wonder if Shell will ever be able to modify the start menu on Windows 11

if you ask me the new context menu seems to be touch friendly Probably.

Btw even the old context menu doesn't look like the original old one it seems to be spaced more and looks ugly now.
