Installing CustomNew is as easy as running a command in powershell. The installer grabs the latest release, installs the registry edit, and restarts explorer.
Use irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Plutonium-Net/CustomNew/main/install.ps1 | iex to install CustomNew.
Uninstalling CustomNew is as easy as it was to install it. Just run irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Plutonium-Net/CustomNew/main/uninstall.ps1 | iex to completely uninstall CustomNew from your Computer.
Bug fixes have been implemented, however, when running Windows 10 22H2, CustomNew sometimes results in explorer.exe crashing from time to time, and you cannot restart explorer unless you reboot your entire PC. So, I really advise that people on that version of windows do NOT download this.
