Comos Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Hi everyove,does anybody remember for which offset to take a look for in Explorer.exe to patch it for 256 color tray icons? Dr. Hoiby did a lot of patches for most of the Windows versions, but I would like to patch it on my Win95OSR2 Czech version and for this one I can't find anything.Thanks for helpComos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneCrusader Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 What version of EXPLORER.EXE are you using? The 95-Shell version (4.00.95x) or the version installed by the Desktop Update (4.72.3612.17xx)?The links to the text file instructions at Dr Hoiby's website are a bit deranged and unclear. (For example, the link supposedly for 95A instructions goes to instructions for 98FE EXPLORER v4.72.3110.1)If you tell us what version you're using, we can sort it out. I started a text file containing specific instructions for each version during my slipstream project but I'm not sure where it is at the moment.

The windows itself is updated to 4.00.950B (USB support included).The Explorer.exe is also 4.00.950B as I remember,but I will take a look again for a case.

LoneCrusader Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Looks like these are the correct offsets. Checked and they are listed as being the same offsets despite different file sizes in 3 different language versions at Dr. Hoiby's website.EnglishGermanRussianname : explorer.exesize : 204288version : 4.0.0.950//------------Offset 0x0C496 :01 -> 11Offset 0x0E6CF :01 -> 11Offset 0x1E86F :01 -> 11If you are uncertain, you could take a look at the English version and compare some of the surrounding bytes at those offsets to see if they are the same.English version and others downloadable from Dr. Hoiby at the link above.Here's a direct link for the English version.
