I don't think I'd characterize that as a "problem". Why do you want to do
that? There is significant effort in customizing the shell and in
maintaining your changes. You need to be really, really sure that you
*must* do this. You'd copy the appropriate SHELL stuff from PUBLIC to a
safe-to-modify location, edit the Explorer stuff to exclude things like
\Windows from display (don't forget to handle text entry of the \Windows
path, and about 100 other special cases), and adjust the build files to
create your own Explorer.exe. Figure on spending at least a couple of
full-time weeks getting this to work (in 4.2, anyway), and several
additional weeks testing and fixing problems. Every time there's a QFE,
you'll need to see if any of the files that you moved and modifed need to be
changed to match, etc.
