(Software Request) Windows 11 File Explorer Customization - Help Make the World a Better Place

Customizing the File Explorer Context Menu and/or GUI

from Stardock Forums

Hello,

I've been a customer with Stardock for over twenty years and continue to use and enjoy your products everyday.

I was hoping you could work on making Windows File Explorer the file management application it used to be. With Windows 11, the Windows team has (obviously) focused on form over function and created a very nice looking disaster. I'm not alone in this assessment, two weeks ago Paul Thurrot ranted about how dysfunctional File Explorer has become in the podcast Windows Weekly: https://twit.tv/shows/windows-weekly/episodes/844?autostart=false 

PLEASE help make the world a better place and give us a better file manager for Windows.

In the W11 update coming Sept. 26th:

File Explore is getting an overhaul, so that’s nice for anyone who is against digital assistants. The new user interface includes a more modern home panel featuring large thumbnails and a carousel that shows recent and favourited files.

If you're in the market for something else, try Commander or Directory Opus because Stardock's Windowblinds will make file explorer look better, but Stardock has no plans afaik to create a file explorer app.
