Short answer: YES.
Long answer: It IS possible to assign plasmadesktop.exe instead of 
explorer.exe through the registry key. The point is that you'll have to 
get the binary itself, you'll have to do edit the registry by hand and 
you'll get quite unstable Plasma desktop. Not that Plasma desktop itself 
is unstable right now, but it's rather raw _on_windows_ and still has 
room for improvement. Also notice that you might encounter file 
association problems, all of which are still yet to be solved.
