I feel like things like Classic Shell (or whatever the go-to alternative is nowadays) are just going to make bank from enterprise customers suddenly wanting to make their desktops usable for the average user.

Doubtful. It's hard enough to get programs past our security team and having half malware bundled programs like this won't be an easy task.

Lol, what? There is no malware in classic shell, or start11 or explorer patcher. Wtf are you talking about?

Tell that to dumbass IT "managers" that think a process monitor is a hacking tool.

Openshell on github. I don't know that it's the same code, but I'm pretty sure the Classic Shell website linked to it.
