hi TC! attached are the files you've requested ...btw, i trimmed down some of the stuff in my HFAAO dir & have created only 1 build earlier ... i think it would be much better this time but i was so dead tired that i wasn't able to test it yet ... i am confident though that it won't give me any headache ... oh, i was also able to copy the XPize part that i mentioned earlier ... Microsoft ® Cabinet Maker - Version (32) 1.00.0601 (03/18/97) Copyright © Microsoft Corp 1993-1997. All rights reserved. Please wait while HFSLIP slipstreams XPize. This may take a while. Slipstreaming XPize completed. File Not Found The system cannot find the file specified. Microsoft ® Cabinet Maker - Version (32) 1.00.0601 (03/18/97) Copyright © Microsoft Corp 1993-1997. All rights reserved. again, come the GUI, no more shortcuts are there for XPize (w/c i liked better ) but it was just strange ... i have a strong inkling this was brought about by rytukz_Vista_Icons_Pack_Ultimate_System_Patch_addon_1.1.cab ... i think this addon & XPize basically do the same thing ... 1 overwrites the other ... thanks!
