I'm struggling to understand why one shouldn't treat the behaviour of explorer.exe as simply part of the Windows system.
Are there third-party explorer.exe alternatives available?
If so, during Windows install, where do I click to _not_ install the MSFT explorer.exe and instead select one of the better alternatives?
