could you be a bit more vague?
if you grab the shell and put it close to your ear you can hear your blood circulating.
>_> I suppose you are reffering to shell32.dll and all the other Shells! No shell is the explorer, explorer is a independent EXE in the comp. In the shells you will find string values, icons and images that are needed for your comp.
Read the rules.
# 2.1.4. Create a concise subject that adequately summarizes your topic. For example "Mac OSX 'Tiger' Visual Style" is much more informative than "Help me find this".# 2.1.9. Use coherent English, where possible. Whilst it is understandable that English is not the first language of many of our users, Aqua-Soft requests that users try, wherever possible, to use English, such that all other users may be able to understand the discussion. Further to this, "leet speak" is very much frowned upon.
Post again clarifying your question, and provide a new, specific title so that I can rename this thread. Always remember that Google or Wikipedia are good sources for basic questions...

Not quite. A shell is the program that allows you to interface with your computer on a system level. Windows Explorer is the default shell for Windows, because it provides you access to your files (explorer windows) and programs (start menu and such.) If you're using a command prompt, CMD is your shell (because it's what you talk to to make stuff happen in the console.) Technically, ObjectDock could be your shell, if you configured Windows to use it as such. Shell32.dll is just a helper library; it gives you shell-based dialog boxes and icons and such to use, but Shell32 is not your shell.
i think i know what he's talking about.
i don't remember the specifics, because i haven't done it in a long time, but basically what you do is replace the line where it refers to explorer.exe with the new shell. it's definitely a process that requires some know-how, otherwise when you screw something up, you might have some headaches.
@ Liquidplasmaflow: dagnabit forgot to add the rest, I thought he was just talking about shell32.dll, as in the "shell" part of it
