How to enable/disable ExplorerPatcher?

[Torinde]

I see the uninstall option, but I would like just to switch it on/off when needed (thus going back to my custom settings and adjustments), not to install/uninstall.

Is that possible?

how to disable explorer patcher:

1. rename C:\Windows\dxgi.dll to C:\Windows\dxgi.dll.old
2. open up task manager
3. kill explorer.exe
4. run explorer.exe

when you want to re-enable:

1. rename C:\Windows\dxgi.dll.old to C:\Windows\dxgi.dll
2. open up task manager
3. kill explorer.exe
4. run explorer.exe

DXGI.DLL? Wouldn't that disable way more things than Explorer patcher?

[pyrates999]

C:\Windows\dxgi.dll is part of EP installation. It doesn't exist if you don't have EP installed.

Thanks, I will try that.

Whoever is confused about the DXGI like me - probably here is the explanation.
