    File extension help

    in Software Hangout

    Posted · Edited by vinifera

    hello

    I need a help from... well those who are good in these kind of things :P

    I have bunch of .RSF files

    they are taken out of old Microsoft Windows Longhorn system files (extracted resource)

    my thinking is that they are some sort of images, this will tell you why:

    14a96z8.png

    problem is renaming them to PNG does nothing

    also by googling (specificaly for MS OS - Longhorn) I only came acros 1 article

    saying those were mislabeled RSS files, but as you see from picture

    it looks nothing like RSS, in fact they have nothing incomonn with XML

    or they are encrypted ?

    heres link to 1 file for analysis 

    http://www.mediafire.com/?rayi4vrmc3rp1p1

    anyone have idea how to "convert" them to image or extract it out ? :P

    or what the heck they might be ? :P

    icon cache DB size

    in Windows XP

    Posted · Edited by vinifera

    yes that one reg entry

    been digging on google few sites, some of them say that XP by default has max value of 500

    I set it up to 2048 value

    I'll delete db's then and report back, but still it smells bad

    icon cache DB size

    in Windows XP

    Posted

    I have increased in registry size for icon cache db to 2 MB

    but I see that it grew beyond that

    the Admin (default account) - which I don't use, has db of 2.6 MB

    and my account has 8.2 MB size

    is this.. bug or normal ?

    I'm not experiencing any Icon corruption yet

    but shouldn't reg setting limit its size ?

    How are some post-SP3 ISO's so much smaller than others?

    in nLite

    Asian languages could been removed (yes i know you wrote untouched), they take space

    also all folders except i386 removed (which ordinary user won't notice unless browsing CD) remove about 90MB

    I've made for myself also XP SP3 + all updates till 2011 untouched, and its also ~600 MB maybe little less

    so its not something mystical :P

    Stubborn XP users could be good for 95/98/ME longevity?

    and who won't be able to run the lastest version of Internet Explorer

    lol who even wants to use that piece of crap anyway...

    as for XP support, yes the official one stops in 2014, which doesn't mean people will gonna drop using this OS the very same day MS stops patching it...

    but the way MS goes with winblows... I think i'll switch on Linux later as anything post Server2003 is just crap an excuse to buy expencive rig's just to be capable of running their fancy OS

    in which user has absolutely NO control over it

    using post SP3 XP as foundation

    in nLite

    ok I will finaly be ready tonight to start with this "project"

    but I must ask

    some hotfixes still come with older number but with "v2"

    so as I understand they were updated recently but still hold old numbering

    so what happens when I start integrating them and I get

    KB103 (old, year 2009)

    KB104 (old, year 2009)

    KB106-v2 (updated in year 2010)

    KB109(old, year 2009)

    do these hotfixes do some checks on integrated file versions or their time compiled

    because with this sequence logicaly I would overwrite later an updated hotfix with older one

    that has higher number (under condition that there are few hotfixes that do patch same files)

    ?

    Folder wallpaper in XP

    in Windows XP

    Posted

    hope author won't mind me asking this (is related)

    but for dekstop.ini per folder, can XP even "auto stretch" the image at all ?

    I've been searching on google for some time answer but can't find any

    seems XP only tiles the image, which basicaly suck :P
