Alan Zeino Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 Lol I dont see how people on neowin can tell the difference betwenn your package and mine windows x, i think there should only be one, because bothe of ours are the same..... Just an idea, but maybe we could work on this together? I mean, you create the visual stlye, and i do the system file things, its just that your a great styler, andim great at system files and other things, maybe a joint package? Just asking if you would like to, I understand if you dont wanna, just that the similarities are too much to have two packages... Alan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiburon Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 mine was messed up too, so i used a hybrid of Alan and Window X's packages :p works quite nice now, fully longhorn themed. I used the icons etc from Alan and package for explorer and the dlls Used the logon, bootscreen and theme from Windows X Works perfect :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windows X Posted April 30, 2003 Author Share Posted April 30, 2003 Yaa.... Listen, 1. It works only in Windows XP (build 2600) and SP1 (build 1106) 2. You have to eject XP's CD before run it 3. If you install from HD, you have to move XP files or edit registry for other XP's path 4. It works with multi language edition as well but it may mess your text about your language and English 5. You have to follow the instruction strictly! If it ask you to wait, you have to wait! About 30 seconds for sure to cancel Windows File Protection. Some system files won't replace cause you don't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enigma-penguin Veteran Posted April 30, 2003 Veteran Share Posted April 30, 2003 (edited) i figured out what the problem was it didnt replace the files with .dll it put .lhtmp WHAT THE HELL IS .lhtmp anyway i found a way to fix it.... but ill report back soon with a tutorial on how to fix Edited April 30, 2003 by EnIgMa-PenGuIn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windows X Posted April 30, 2003 Author Share Posted April 30, 2003 lhtmp which temporary file that renamed for patch files. It will be deleted after restart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windows X Posted April 30, 2003 Author Share Posted April 30, 2003 And about changing build number, I think it's possible. I'll figure it out now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-penguin Veteran Posted April 30, 2003 Veteran Share Posted April 30, 2003 well it is stored in a dll youd probably find its refered to in the string and fileversion sections best bet ask ppl with longhorn to look for the word "main" in there file versions and strings cos it replaces the xpsp and is less common than the line xp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windows X Posted April 30, 2003 Author Share Posted April 30, 2003 I found the info in registry and about dll dialog in shell32.dll. When I change registry, it doesn't work. It will restore registry after reboot. And when I edit dialog to ignore check from other parts, it doesn't work too. Even I delete that text but it still same as it is.

enigma-penguin Veteran Posted April 30, 2003 Veteran Share Posted April 30, 2003 (edited) i think thats cos it refers to the version info on certain files... or you need to combat that protection cos its in most of the dlls and explorer... im working on the problem too... ive seen it done i just dont remember where 14352 dialog 04 string they refer to %s and %d but only the build number and service pack numbers are stored in shell 32.... the version number i found that in msgina but what is %s %d i found strings like that in ui logons refering to users and program numbers Edited April 30, 2003 by EnIgMa-PenGuIn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windows X Posted April 30, 2003 Author Share Posted April 30, 2003 Yaa....Even I see it failed. When I check file, it's my modded file. Maybe there's other hints to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-penguin Veteran Posted April 30, 2003 Veteran Share Posted April 30, 2003 ok %s refers to user or word strings and %d in numeric strings ] but where is it getting its values it also is in folder 24 shell32 dll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windows X Posted April 30, 2003 Author Share Posted April 30, 2003 I remove all but still show. Even I cut that lines. P.S. This shall be enough. If want to talk more, PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-penguin Veteran Posted April 30, 2003 Veteran Share Posted April 30, 2003 (edited) i got it.... just remove the strings and replace it with your false text sting 04 in shell32 ill test then tell you EDIT: woohoo got it just change the text in string 04 to Version 6.0 (Build 4015.main.030328-1500) and if you want change your copywrite that in the dialog but to revert you need to put the strings back Edited April 30, 2003 by EnIgMa-PenGuIn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
