standalone .exe?
hey there is it smh possible to have this as a standalone .exe to just run to have this functionality only? I don't use an explorer.exe at all (not using a shell-app).
I built the .dll but I don't see how I can use it standalone. Is there a way to use it directly smh?
ExplorerPatcher 'links' sws statically, i.e. the source code of sws is included in the ExplorerPatcher tree, and thus the functionality is directly called. See here: https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/blob/master/ExplorerPatcher/dllmain.c#L6048
As far as I can see, the DLL exports a main function. So, LoadLibraryW the DLL in your code, then GetProcAddress for "main" and call that in a thread - the switcher will simply load. You can do something like CreateThread or, if running explorer.exe, place the DLL in C:\Windows named dxgi.dll and then from some other process CreateRemoteThread in explorer.exe calling main from dxgi.dll - multiple ways to do it, really, depends on your use case.
