THANKS ALL!!! Jcarle in what language do you make your programs? C# in Visual Studio? just for curiosity BYE!

DOH! (LOL) Well, i had in mind an user who uses the pc just for gaming, playing music and downloading zip and rar files. But i think you´re right So, Total Commander for ever in my hard drive

Yeah, i know these apps and they are wonderful. But, wouldn´t be great to have a windows xp with zip and rar support with no 3rd party apps installed? Advantages: a cleaner disk and registry, no more open 3rd party apps to handle these type of files, no more looooooooong menus when double-clicking, etc. well it seems that what im looking for is impossible, but maybe Bill Gates is reading this post and gives me the solution in Longhorn (LOL)

Yeah I know, but that´s what i´m trying to avoid! I want my system as clean as possible. Im not a programmer but looking at the code of some dlls of winrar and copying it to zipfldr.dll could work (or not, i have no idea ) thanks anyway BYE

HI, is there any hack for zipfldr.dll in order to support rar files natively?If not, could any programmer do that? it would be grateful!! bye

HI, i cant send attached files (i dont know why), so look in the link to see some changes ive made to my XP Hope you like it!! Please send opinions Look here

O L E! IT works!!! Many many thanks PYRON!!

when double-clicking it doesnt work, and running it in cmd i get this I also need EXEs to be compressed Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] © Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp. C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>cd.. C:\Documents and Settings>cd.. C:\>cd f C:\f>createcabs "%i" was unexpected at this time. C:\f>for "%i" in (*.dll;*.cpl) do makecab "%i" C:\f>

many thanks for your help, but im not very familiar with these commands, so please explain in detail step by step. Sorry

Please tell how to do that!!

Hi, i have a dir full of exes dlls and cpls and i want to Makecab them all in one step, not file by files because is tedious . Any suggest? thanks!!

HI, ive found an app called My Drivers and i think it is useful for unattended drivers installation. If not, sorry It is shareware, but there is always solutions out there http://www.softpedia.com/public/cat/13/2/13-2-55.shtml

Well i think i have my own problem solution! Someone interested: Back up this key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar Most of the settings are saved there THANKZ to myself

HI! how can i make a reg file to backup my toolbar config? please tell me the registry string where i can find this config. THANKZ in Advance DOH! i think nobody knows that

hi!, i dont know if it is possible , but many people need a program to convert several .reg files into one simple .reg file. Are u able to do that?

Look at this amazing app!! http://www.petri.co.il/software/context_viewer.zip

LOL

THANKS A LOT;) BYE "It was a case of the solution being worse than the problem", Bill Gates talking about SP2

OK, so post yours!!

Hi, with the sp2 here, many people are thinkin in a reformat (dont you?) so i think it is a good idea to post our favourite programs we use. Here are mines: Photo editing: Photoshop CS Burning: Nero 6 Defragmenter: Diskeeper Registry: Reg Supreme Pro File manager: Total Commander Hack: Replacer - Resource Hacker Icons: Icon Workshop Junk cleaner: CCleaner Partitions: Partition Expert XP tweaker: safexp - xp antispy Sound: Nero wave editor - mp3 gain Media: WMP9 - VLC Player BYE

Hi again, thankz a lot nolookingca . The player you told is good but ive been testing ffdshow and i think is the best solution (for now). I dont like my system full of players (this for that and that for this ). I will go on searching for solutions, if i find somthing i will post it here. In short: WMP9 and ffdshow (for now) Bye

HI! we all already know problems between xp sp2 and divx. So, whats the best solution? > whats the best codec (pack or not) should i use? (ive read ffdshow is good) or should i disable DEP? Im currently using K-Lite Codec Pack. THANKZ

Windows Media player is the best of all in my opinion. Have one of you found a player with jukebox capabilities without spyware (realmedia), support to wma/mp3 (itunes doesnt) and so easy to use? Winamp rocked at his time but doesnt now, itunes doesnt support wma and install quicktime you wanted or not and real products are full of advertisement. Any alternative?

Hi again Thanks a lot Simonsays but I already knew GUIReplacer. It is a very interesting app but i dont like its custom themes. Well crystal xp icons are wonderful but i hate this f****** linux penguin. My idea is have a customized XP with the same xp look and feel. My own files will be posted soon, im abroad right know, sorry. I have hacked shell32.dll (icons replaced: default icon;default program and the icon near the "check disk" option) and zipfldr.dll (sp2 2180 version). The icons that i have in mind to change are those found in the IE options (they are horrible) and media player 6.4. Yeah i know that doing this is tedious but if microsoft doesnt do that...we will do it ourselves (we will see Longhonr at this respect). I will post my files as soon as possible.Till that moment arrives, post your ideas and your own files. Thankz PD: Nois3 you dont know me, so dont comment about me. Peace please bye bye

Hi all! Im new here. Im Spanish so sorry for my spelling. Well, I want to completely Xpize Windows XP because, as you know, some XP icons are still in 2000/98/ME format. I dont like this, so I started to modify some system files such as shell32.dll and zipfldr.dll in order to change some "old" icons. If someone is interested, please modify your files and post them here. Note: Use the final SP2 2180 files. I use Reshacker (google it to get it) Also use Axialis IconWorkshop to search easily for icons in dlls and exes. I dont know if it is better to post uncompressed files (EXE, DLL, etc) or compressed (EX_, DL_, etc) The last ones in order to slipstream your installation. bye bye
