User note: Very little content.

Shell36 is the name of the default shell in Windows 96. Shell36 handles the start menu, taskbar, desktop, and notification services.

If you terminate it using the Task manager, you can no longer open it and your screen will go black. Before Shell36 gets started, you can't open any windows.

Remove it

If you don't want the UI, DO NOT delete the binary. Instead put this in C:/system/boot/noui.js:

w96.evt.sys.on("init-complete", async () => {
  w96.state.processes.find(e => e && e.title === "shell36").terminate();
  w96.sys.execCmd("APP") //instead of APP put any application you want like "terminal"
});

Location

You can find the binary at C:/system/local/bin/shell36.
