1 | # Hide Explorer Search Bar
2 | Very simple executable that hides the search bar in File Explorer and in the Open/Save dialogs in Windows 10.
3 |
4 | Download binaries from [releases](https://github.com/valinet/HideExplorerSearchBar/releases).
5 |
6 | Simply execute the downloaded executable file and that's it. To modify common dialogs in elevated applications, run the program as administrator. The 32-bit version works on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
7 |
8 | To compile, use the included Visual Studio solution or, from a command window, do:
9 |
10 | ```
11 | cl.exe /nologo /DUNICODE /Oi /GS- main.c Kernel32.lib User32.lib /link /RELEASE /NODEFAULTLIB /ENTRY:wWinMain
12 | ```
13 |
14 | * `/Oi` will enable the use of `wcscmp` intrinsic (compilation is done without default library)
15 | * `/Gs-` disables security checks (same reason, unavailable when compiling without default library)
