Everything apart from the standard start menu being broken and trying to shut down causing the process to crash (both of which also happen on newer versions) seems to work. The most "stable" OS to do this on is Vista, I assume because it's taskbar and start menu are more similar to XP compared to 7 and newer. The way you do this is simple: take the explorer.exe file from an XP installation, copy it to the target OS set compatibility mode to Windows XP SP2/SP3 open up task manager kill the running explorer process, and finally run the XP explorer.exe using task manager's run feature. So, a few weeks ago, I found a video on YouTube showing what happens if you take the explorer.exe from XP and run it on newer versions, so naturally, I wanted to try it on my own. I don't know if this has been discovered before, but I find it quite amusing, so I'm posting the story
