Windows is so fucking weird

Make a new folder and call it [whatever you want].{437ff9c0-a07f-4fa0-af80-84b6c6440a16} and open it

Windows Explorer ribbon controls as files in explorer

They even work if you click on them

@i_lost_my_bagel clsid is one hell of a drug

@gsuberland it really is

@i_lost_my_bagel Did they get to the "everything is a file" part of whatever linux documentation they're reading?? ;)

@i_lost_my_bagel Does Microsoft develop Windows using one, never-ending Hackathon?

@i_lost_my_bagel windows really took "everything is a file" and ran with it...

@i_lost_my_bagel Windows is hacked together anyway.
Taskbar is just set dressing.

@i_lost_my_bagel and people say linux's filetree is convoluted

@i_lost_my_bagel maybe the windows user interface is bootstrapping itself to to become self-hosting

Unix: everything is a file
Windows: everything is a folder

@i_lost_my_bagel and then you foolishly try to manipulate a path >256 characters and oh suddenly NOW you're not a wizard, File Explorer?

Rainmeter

@i_lost_my_bagel they took DRY very seriously.
