Has anyone tried any Cortana hacking yet?

I am pretty sure Microsoft would not allow this and auto revert the settings made but I will try this tonight:

Remove explorer.exe as the main shell and add in what ever the executable for Cortana is to be the main shell. Maybe cortana.exe?

This way I force myself to train Cortana to do everything for me.

This way eventually I can just say: Cortana run Outlook. Cortana run COD5

Thinking to make the pc as hands free as possible while nothing yet is running except Cortana.
Or to even have Cortana dictate into Microsoft Word.

Yeah it is but I want the OS to be pure from third party software. I will start this endeavor after Christmas.

I think you're mistaken about how explorer.exe and cortana work... You CANNOT currently do that, it's quite literally impossible at this stage.

But microsoft has already stated that it's one of their goals to allow cortana to float between apps and help with practically everything. Probably won't happen until after redstone 2, but it's definitely something they are working on.
