I want to make my computer look like Windows 3.11

September 16, 2017 6:49:04 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I've already got myself WB and WB skin that achieves it in terms of the windows, but there is still something missing. Does anyone know of any 32bit/64bit software that emulates Program Manager (preferably free one) and is compatible with Windows 8? Doesn't have to be a shell replacement, may be something that you start yourself (or put into startup). Can someone advise me what to do?

No, that's not what I look for. This is not unlike running Win3.11 inside DOSBox. I want something like Program Manager that reads start menu items on my computer and present it in PM-like interface.

Fences Allows you to make desktop areas that contain specific icons you set up or points to directories on your hard drive (or network)

You should be able to create a fairly close approximation of Program Manager.

Close!= the same. Also Fences are more like icon drawers than what PM was like/KDE Plasma is like. No, what I really want is for a software that reads from the start menu and shows all program groups and shortcuts in a PM-like interface. Fences can't do it for me.
