DarkPhoenix Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 It is possible, but it's extremely hard to do, at least I believe so... the compability mode works in the registry, inHKEY_USERS\<UserCode>\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers\, where you'd add an entry, called for example "C:\Windows\Program.exe", a REG_SZ type (string), and set its value to "WIN2000". The hard part is figuring out what your UserCode is. I don't know a way, but maybe somebody else knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Sx]rednaS Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 I found a way to get the usercode. Below is my batchfile to get it. It only works if you are the only user on the pc because then there will be only one S-1-5-21 entry in the registry key below. To work on a multi-user pc more coding has to be done but that is a bit more difficult.REG EXPORT "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList" ProfileList.regTYPE ProfileList.reg > ProfileList.txtDEL ProfileList.regFINDSTR /R .*S-1-5-21.* ProfileList.txt > MyUsercode.txtDEL ProfileList.txtFOR /F "USEBACKQ TOKENS=1,2 DELIMS==" %%I IN (MyUsercode.txt) DO ( SET Usercode=%%I)DEL MyUsercode.txtSET Usercode=%Usercode:~77,-1%Just add 1 or more REG ADD lines, using the Usercode variable, to the batchfile and you'r done.
