Hey everyone, made a spreadsheet with stuff that works on later systems. Feel free to add to it. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AgwYcNKb4qjuEFTIAIWIwBOsneT-ILJXlusfzCJf-wk/htmlview# Look at the bottom of the speadsheet, there are a few with different programs. More tools that work with winxp. https://www.notion.so/1447050df0ad80d0ac4df39879ac74ac Also, in general, for dead links, try looking in the wayback machine. https://web.archive.org/

Updated link to this and other tools. https://github.com/ibay770/explorertools/releases/download/test/Great.Tools.for.Windows.Explorer.zip Thumbnail Handler for Text Files on Explorer.zip Not working yet on win11, feel free to hack away till it does. MysticThumbs has a 2 week trial though. https://mysticcoder.net/MysticThumbs

Is there a way to disable/remove Metro?

Curious how Server 2012 differs, is that better?

"Also, three fonts can be found at Validation OS: System, Terminal and Lucida Console. Adding just the Marlett font into the VOS Image will make the OS display more badly as most areas will be shown in the Marlett font." I added all the windows fonts to the WIM, how to do I make it use them?

Great work man! Thanks for this awesome tool! Is it possible to add features to convert wim/iso 2 vhd and vice versa? Also, itd be nice if we could boot the wim/iso with qemu from winntsetup as a test run. Thanks in advance

This worked well for me. However it is annoying that we need these methods as opposed to booting with TI privileges by default like audit mode does.

Why don't you try it then? I don't mind but I have no idea what to do.

if its possible to find it thatd be cool, if not, is this not the place where we can hack something that does it?

Exactly why I want to do this and run Windows as system the same way audit mode and Windows setup does.

I'm curious what those hacks were

Most times, the requirements are arbitrary and not required.

I've noticed when Windows boots in the setup mode or it audit mode, everything runs with system/N't authority privileges. How can I make that happen with a regular boot? Thanks in advance. I'm running win11 24H2

Modern UEFI. I got it working by using EfiGuard.

It's Microsoft that's why. Disable windows defender, system restore and smartscreen, install primocache on your system, problem solved.

Yes. Didn't help. Besides I'd like to disable it once and for all, not go through these hoops every time.

I wish.

Yes. I had some Dolby drivers that worked fine until the "upgrade"

The general tricks no longer work, with DSE Patcher and pressing F8 for the advanced start menu, it just reboots but doesn't disable DSE. Any advice? Thanks in advance.

Try these, Also check you are using an SSD, some manufactures still cheap out on giving you an HD instead.

Precisely put. Thank you for explaining it.

This explains the problem but maybe someone has a solution. Instead of the explorer searchbar using windows search, is there a way to force it to use everything search instead?
