Topic: Explorer takeover in win7
Just wanted to save this somewhere for future reference, and for a place to try to solve the explorer takeover in win7:
07:57 <the-golem> this part is interesting: The WoW64 subsystem also handles other key aspects of running 32-bit applications. It's involved in managing the interaction of 32-bit applications with the Windows components such as the Registry, which has distinct keys for 64-bit and 32-bit applications. For example HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node is the 32-bit equivalent of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software
08:01 <the-golem> i think i found some other keys that might need switching
08:03 <the-golem> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
08:07 <the-golem> for Shell and AutoRestartShell
08:15 <the-golem> explorer still spawns when i call it
08:16 <the-golem> when i call JUST explorer.
08:16 <the-golem> when i call it with a filepath, then it doesn't spawn
