os2fan2 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 This i found on one of Bearwin's sites. It works under 2K, XP Pro, Home and XP64.cd /d %systemroot%\system32copy console.dll *.cplcopy hotplug.dll *.cplWhat it does is adds two new control panel applets: console.cpl is the same as in Windows NT 3 and 4, is a global setting.hotplug.cpl is the dialog box that opens when you insert a USB device, etc. Being a cpl applet, you can make a shortcut to it, and put it in the start menu quick launch bar or on the desktop. You don't have to hope it's in the tray.May have a use in HFSLIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdv Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I suppose in TXTSETUP, one could findconsole.dll = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0and ADD:console.dll = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0console.dll = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0,console.cplWould make it auto. Wendy, I assume you are also scanning other DLLs for this "hidden" capability? (You don't want someone else to have all the glory do you?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommyp Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Slipstream it FTW! If you gotta register it, then HFEXPERT\CODECS. If you don't need to register it, HFEXPERT\WIN\SYSTEM32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ascii2 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Is there some way to bring back the dialog box that pops up when you eject a USB device? The kind that was replaced by the stupid balloons in XP?This is something I am also interested in.I suppose that using the version of the Eject USB device utility and its related files should work, but I am unsure as to . I find it interesting that Windows Vista uses dialog boxes stating when a USB device has been safely removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
os2fan2 Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 If it's a cpl icon, you can make a shortcut to it, and it really does open the dialog box for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
