hexing win32k and NTOSKRNL

[vinifera]

don't know how much this goes into "illegal" things for this board

feel free to warn or lock the thread if so

i'm interested in changing XP build number (not the desktop via registry)

so people on some boards said files needed to hexed are win32k.sys and ntoskrnl.exe

but in there i don't find anything related to "2600" (regarding XP build number)

anyone can tell what needs to be edited ?

(maybe im blind)

Not sure if this is relevant.

Let's say you do.

Then in a month you try to install hotfixes... and they won't install, because they look for a specific build number. What good has this version hack done? You've only prevented yourself from patching your own OS.

those are for desktop watermark, i know ho to do that (but thanks)

i more interested in global version build change, and yes i'm aware some things wouldn't work

usage of imagecfg did the job
