Good morning,
I have just proposed a modification to the setting.reg file (for Windows 11) which allows the ExplorerPatcher settings to be displayed in a slightly different form.
I also modified settings10.reg (for Windows 10) in the same spirit.
Part of the proposal is purely aesthetic and concerns line tabulations for alignment or line breaks to create paragraphs making it easier to identify the functions concerned.
Highlighting Internet links with a double ↗ ↗ makes it possible to differentiate between internal links which operate outside the network and those which require connection.
The second part concerns the creation of new links, slight text modifications and the proposal of conditional displays of particular parameters.
It is quite obvious that this is only a suggestion because at least for the aesthetic part it is a matter of taste and as the creator of the program you are the only decision maker.
For the rest, I have available the translated French language version of the two files Settings.reg and Settings10.reg and I would find it interesting to propose in the ExplorerPatcher project a Translate folder with a sub-folder per language for all versions of these two Settings files so that everyone can recreate the dll files in their language from the source code. You would then need to add a link in the Update tab which encourages the user to participate in the translation of EP into their own language without you having to manage anything on your side.
I have added the following points to each relevant tab:
① Taskbar tab
- Text Shift
- Removal of unnecessary white space
- Creation of new Text link at the bottom of the page [ ;y Detailed information on how to configuring the Taskbar on the ExplorerPatcher site ]

Best regards
- This should fix start menu not working (at all!) on users who upgraded into 22621.2428 not through 22621.2361 with EP installed. Updating into this version will redownload symbols due to changes in the way they are managed.
- 22621.2428 was just released to the general public, but symbols for twinui.pcshell.dll are not available at the time of writing. Despite that, StartDocked.dll and StartUI.dll are still the same as 22621.2361.
- I've also removed hardcoded and stuffed-together offsets of really old DLL versions to make the code more concise.
- Added patterns for twinui.pcshell.dll as a backup when symbols are not available
- Made LoadSymbols clear the returned symbol data when the version is mismatched
- Failure of hooking functions should not prevent Explorer from loading at all anymore
