MkFly Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 This does work with Vista x64, but only on 32-bit apps running through WOW64. 64-bit apps still have their focus rectangles. Which sucks since really the only program I want to remove them from is the 64-bit Explorer. I've uploaded the user32.dll from Vista x64 SP1, if anybody wants to take a look a look at it: http://www.mediafire.com/file/ibibnzkmzju/...sta_x64_sp1.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGW Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Hello again, I'm wondering if by any chance this great hack will be updated to work with Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit? It doesn't work with Vista 64-bit as well. Anyone? I hope it gets updated, it's the greatest hack I have came across to since ages.. Thanks again to the original developer.

robmil Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Anyone know how to integrate this into XP Setup CD. Is it just a matter of pasting Focus Rectangle Remover.dll into $OEM$/$$/System32 folder? Does it still require registering? Any help would be much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MkFly Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 What system file(s) need be modified with the likes of Resource Hacker to do this instead? The current version of this app doesn't remove the focus rectangle from 64-bit programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MkFly Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Ah, okay, so it's DrawFocusRect() in USER32.DLL ... so, how can this be disabled? loc[a]lhost is nowhere to be seen ... I really want to remove this damned focus rectangle on Windows 7 x64. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dis Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Bump. :whistle: +1 ok. my mistake. open user64.dll or whatever file is this in 64bit os. but the method is the same. of course you need to use softwares that can open 64bit files.

loc[a]lhost Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 Since Windows 3.11 or even earlier, we had this ugly focus rectangle shown in almost every window, and most annoyingly, on items that are selected and have different signs to tell us they are in focus. So I made Universal Focus Rectangle Remover - a utility that will remove those focus rectangles completely from your system. The new version supports x64 and Windows 7 flawlessly, and should work with any OS from Windows 2000 to Windows 7, and probably future versions as well. Installation is also easier than ever in the new version, just run the setup and the rest is done for you. Click here to download. Enjoy :) Update: 2010-03-12: Updated to work on Windows Server 2008 R2. Descartes and Denis W. 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
