Three things. One, use the edit button instead of double-posting. Two, be nice to and patient with people if you want them to help. Three, try to find some pizzazz to add to the project page to make people interested! Sample work, mockups, etc.
How about your make a game instead of another form of explorer. No one is going to use this on-top of Windows. Hell, people already complain about how much resources windows uses by itself. If you're really that confident you can take on a project like this, how about you take that knowledge and make something you'll be respected for.
PS: This post is not intended to be taken offensively. It's a suggestion and advice post.
You know I was at one time making something like this for kids, so that they could use the computer without messing it up.
If you could turn this into somthing like that it might actually be useful. Also no one hates you they are speaking from experience.

You're 10... and you want to make a whole operating system?

I think you should show something that you have made so far to get people interested. No one will take you seriously if you can't show that you actually know what you are doing. (Not meaning to sound harsh but most likely came off that way) Just post a demo or something for people to try.

You can't create an operating system, that much I'm entirely positive about. An operating system is a piece of software that works off the basis of pure hardware binary code. It takes and encodes information that hardware can understands, and decodes information hardware provides back. It's more than just some console for a computer, it's actually the tool used to control the functions of the computer itself.
Right now, all you're creating is another form of Explorer, which is a built in tool running on Windows. Explorer is what controls windows, folders, the start menu, taskbar, pretty much everything you see on the screen. Want to see for yourself? Press Alt + Ctrl + Delete, go to the Processes tab, and find Explorer.EXE. Select it and end it. It wont screw up your PC, but it'll give you a pretty solid idea as to what you're trying to create here. You're not making an operating system, you're attempting to make a type of Explorer, which still wont get you much respect, because everyone is fine with Explorer and yours, I'm sorry, will not be anywhere near as good.
UG. Windows explore was made by professionals using a real programming language. MMF2 is great and all, but it is not nearly as efficient, so even if you were the best mmf2 user out there, windows explore would still be much much better.
