Control Panel is a collection of OLE based sub-views that assumes the OLE support Explorer implements. The menus operate through similar interfaces. > Will I be able to access Control Panel at all? Not as a consolidated view, but individual .cpl and .mmc files can be executed out of windows\system(32, 64). Doing this for .cpl files will start Explorer in non-shell mode, though. > Will I still be able to access Windows menus that rely on Explorer any > other way? No. Whatever applications are used will have to be KDE4 aware as well as Explorer. > Will I still be able to access the internet through IE8, and will I still > be able to run games that I usually run in Windows XP or Windows 7?? You should, unless the games assume for some reason that Explorer is always the shell. None I know of do, and IE8 doesn't.
