You can actually test your hack of explorer .exe without having to reboot into safe
mode or anything.Put your hacked version into a known location other than c:\winnt,
for example on the root of c:, open task manager and kill explorer.exe, then click
on New Task, and type C:\explorer.exe, and it will launch your version rather than
the original. You can switch back in the same way. The bit I haven't yet managed
is a simple way to test User32.dll, as it's always in use. Does that work from safe
mode, does anyone know?
