Open the registry and start here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion, edit WallPaperDir to where you want the wallpapers will be located. Please note that even after "pointing" (by editing WallPaperDir) to where your preferred wallpaper location and in addition, the wallpapers at C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper (or %windir%\Web\Wallpaper) are also used.

Oops... I had a totally different "grasp" on tcpip.sys patching. Thanks nmX.Memnoch and nitroshift for clearing this for me. You mean 2003 SP2 would still be considerable fast (also for file sharing) even if I don't increase the "10 simultaneous half open connections"? I don't know if it's just me, but I noticed just a little bit of decrease in network performance after I upgraded to SP2.

Since I cannot find a connection limit (to add more than 10 simultaneous connections) patch to tcpip.sys on Windows 2003 Server, I tried the old LvlLord's patcher and it seems to be working. I also tried to confirm this on xp-Antispy by clicking on the menu Special -> Connection Limit... and it already shows 50 connections and looks patched nicely. Can anybody confirm this using other means?

No problem here for me, running games (Civilization 4, ZSNES, etc.) on Windows 2003 SP2, just install latest Direct X and main board drivers (mainly for sound) and you'll be fine.

Thanks bfoos, I'm now using it. If CRC fixed then I can add this to the /i386 installation folder (overwriting the default SP2 uxtheme.dll). BTW, the link where I got the SP2 German version now has also 6.0.3790.3959 EN version.

It is called KeePass and it can also be found on CodeProject. Other Password Manager from CodeProject is EXILE. Other alternative is to compress them and put password in your .rar or .zip file.

Use USER2SID: ...and while logged on to your brother's account you might want to use DisableRegistryTools to disable execution of Regedt32.exe and Regedit.exe for him not to use the registry (evil ). Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer] "DisableRegistryTools"=dword:00000001 Be sure to have an HKCU "enable" .reg in place just in case of emergency.

I hate rapidshare and megaupload .

the S-1-5-21-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-500 is "The Administrator". other users are S-1-5-21-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-1000, -1001, -1002, etc.

Well, while waiting for the English version of uxtheme.dll, the most of what I can make of right now is the SP2 German version of uxtheme.dll dated March 17 from here. I used the replacer to change the current SP2 uxtheme.dll and it works , the drawback is while at display properties and changing VS, German wordings are used, e.g., Inaktives/Aktives Fernster, Dialogfeld, Fenstertext, etc.

...or TCP Monitor

Does anybody know how to patch Windows 2003 SP2 uxtheme.dll to use other visual styles?

Alright, I'll start downloading...

Try Vista Transformation Pack 6.0 from Softpedia or Majorgeeks. It does not only change your boot screen to Vista, it will also transform your current icons, sound scheme, visual style and wallpapers to Vista. Screenshots (author's site).

http://www.vorck.com/remove-ie.html I don't recommend removing IE though... although I'm using Firefox, I still keep IE for the following reasons: Windows update Some sites are viewed badly in FF (although Greasemonkey might correct this) My online website editor only works best on IE

Welcome to MSFN Iminer!

Did you disabled the service Event Log? This may be causing the start-up delay.

...and I thought friendster is also popular.

If your image is 250x150 and 30kb, you exceeded by 50 pixels in 100 pix height (from 300x100). Another example is 301x50 and 50 bytes, it will break Rule 5. It, again, exceeds width by 1 pixel. How do I know? Go ask Tarun .

Good work! *rushes to download dll* Now could someone start upgrading the kernel?
