Maybe someone else has already found this, but try to drag a window to the side of the screen and see what happens ;)

Anyone remember the "AnimationsShiftKey"? It also works in 6801, if you enable this old tweak, hold the shift key and do the above, looks very awesome :D

This was announced and videod at PDC, Brandon Live also mentioned you can do it by the following combinations. Winkey + Right/left/Up/Down arrow. Pretty cool that way too :)

Ok guys it doesn't seem to be working for me, or I might be doing something wrong? I'm doing it from the C:\Windows directory and I'm putting my Windows account username instead of "User" my username does NOT have spaces either, so I m not using the " and " but this is what I'm getting:

C:\Windows>cacls %windir%\explorer.exe /E /G %User%:F

No mapping between account names and security IDs was done.

Then when I do: start unlockProtectedFeatures.exe the program just crashes and nothing happens, Any ideas?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Where you have %User% can you try writing out your username instead? Like

C:\Windows>cacls %windir%\explorer.exe /E /G "Ely's PC":F

or simply

C:\Windows>cacls %windir%\explorer.exe /E /G Ely:F

Where you have %User% can you try writing out your username instead? Like

C:\Windows>cacls %windir%\explorer.exe /E /G "Ely's PC":F

or simply

C:\Windows>cacls %windir%\explorer.exe /E /G Ely:F

You are the man! thanks a lot, cacls %windir%\explorer.exe /E /G Ely:F actually worked! I appreciate your help buddy.

Hi, I'm trying to unlock the superbar. i follow all of the directions. i used C:\Windows and i used the user name Benjamin, like i'm supposed to but the unlock program just crashes, any ideas?

Did you unblock the unlockprotectedfeatures.exe file you downloaded by going to its properties?

    • That's just silly imo. The lengths that man goes to just to avoid W11 is just nuts. Very, very few home users would do that. I will say this though, he is committed. Btw, I note on askwoody that Woody Leonhard passed away March, 2025 aged 73. His site was one of my favorites back in the day. Belated yes but RIP Woody.
    • Because of the EU (a good thing) newer android devices been getting 5 years worth of security patches. Except some Motorola which found the loop hole, and offer ZERO updates. In addition, Google for years have been making where it can patch some stuff by updating the core Google Play Store itself.  As echoed earlier,  you take the security risk in to your own hand beyond supported.
