Could you build this?
Partial Interacting deeply with the Windows shell, desktop icons, and native Explorer window manager requires specialized low-level Win32 API and shell hook programming that AI assistants frequently hallucinate or struggle to stabilize.
What it would actually take: A production version requires C++ or C# with P/Invoke tapping into Win32 APIs like `FindWindowEx`, `SHGetDesktopFolder`, and shell hooks to intercept desktop clicks and file drag-and-drop operations. It needs custom low-level UI rendering overlaid seamlessly on the Windows desktop canvas without causing Explorer crashes or redraw flickering. Handling virtual desktops, multi-monitor DPI scaling, and OS updates requires deep Windows OS internals expertise.
