ExplorerFrame doesn't open on startup

Open SlavBoi420 opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

I had been a happy user of ExplorerFrame on one of my PCs and it works flawlessly there. So, I started using ExplorerFrame alongside MicaForEveryone on another PC.

The Problem

ExplorerFrame doesn't start on startup

Things tried to fix it

  • I tried both versions of ExplorerFrame given to download
  • I put the ExplorerFrame exe in the shell:startup folder

Both of these "fixes" didn't work. What could be the reason behind it?

Are you able to provide a memory dump for it?

Well, I was able to solve the problem this time, turns out that I didn't put Injector.dll into the shell:startup folder. When I put that in and restarted, everything worked fine again. Still, it is weird that I didn't have to do this on the other machine that I use this on. Here's the memory dump (also sorry for the late reply):

ExplorerFrame.zip

a better and more reliable option would be to :

  • Put both ExplorerFrame.exe and Injector.dll in a folder you're sure to never delete
  • Right-Click on the exe file and choose Copy as a path link (or something similar)
    In your clipboard there should be something like "C:\...\ExplorerFrame.exe"
  • Do Win + R, type regedit
  • In the address bar on top enter HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
  • In the main window, right click -> Create a New -> String Value
  • Give it the name you want
  • As a value, paste the path link you copied earlier
