Unfortunately not, I just tried running the copy included with Windows XP SP1 on Windows 11β€”it relies on SheRemoveQuotesW which was removed from Shell32 in Windows Vista. (It doesn't seem to be able to use a copy of a Windows-XP-sourced shell32.dll from the working directory, either).





That's because Windows 11 only comes in 64-bit flavors and Program Manager as bundled with XP would be 32-bit. WoW64[1] can't bridge 64- and 32-bit binaries in the context of system components, such as the shell.

Try running that under 32-bit Windows 10, I never tried it myself but I have a feeling it should work.

can technically be patched with ReeactOS's implementation of the functiom.
