Copilot could soon live inside Windows 11's File Explorer, as Microsoft tests Chat with Copilot in Explorer, not just in a separate app (www.windowslatest.com)

I have to use Windows 11 for my school computer, not allowed to change the OS. I didn't realize how shit awful explorer had gotten between 10 and 11. For anyone reading this who has to use 11: there are explorer alternatives. I use OneCommander and it let me change the default explorer for shortcuts and when other programs bring things up like with "show in folder" options. I don't have to use windows explorer anymore and while it's no Linux at least it doesn't have fucking copilot and it gives me back basic control

    It may not be helpful enough and getting on in age (maybe others know of something similar), but there is a mod called OldNewExplorer that you can run and choose to modify a few elements of Explorer. I've used it to change the details pane from the side back to the bottom of the window.
