I didn't. @WildBill is/was a very careful and thorough reverser, who took for himself the mission of porting to 2k all the patches MS was (and remains) denying it. He studied carefully each pach until he fully understood it, then made the port. His ports are safer even than MS's originals. He went even further and reversed kernell32.dll to the point he had a working compilable source he then made public, thus providing a precious source of information regarding what he found out about kernell32.dll to anyone carefull enough to read and meditate about his soure code. And also gave people his free PE tool. But you're wrong about one detail: @blackwingcat had been extending the 2k kernel some time before @WildBill began to release his own work, and IIRR, the 1st ever to extend the 2k kernel was @OldCigarette (whom, I'm sad to say, I'm even surer isn't among us anymore).

Well regsrv32 is a way to (re-)register the executable in the Registry, though it didn't work for you I doubt that even if it ran it would have changed anything. The "No DOS or PE signature found. This is not a valid 32-bit or 64-bit Windows module." is "queer", the .cpl files are renamed .dll's (hence the possibility to run them via RUNDLL32), that DW should "understand" just fine. It should mean that *somehow* the actual timedate.cpl is corrupted. I just checked on an old ME install disk I have (it is inside \win9x\WIN_9.CAB\) the file there is 36864 bytes in size, dated 2000-06-08 and - once extracted - opens just fine in Dependency Walker. (this is an English version, I don't think I have handy an Italian version, that may well have different date/size, to check it) In any case, if you open it in *any* hex/disk viewer/editor, its first two bytes should be (regardless of the version) the "normal" DOS signature of 4D5A or "MZ": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOS_MZ_executable jaclaz

That is perfectly understandable....but that has been typical of Windows 10 from the start.....the settings you make get overwritten with an update.....there are a lot of posts about the pitfalls with trying to setup Windows 10..it demands time and energy and is also a reason why many members don't use it as a production OS.... bookie32
