How do I "modpe" the "WFP"? And what are they? And where can I locate the .cpl in the XPCD since I want to make the pic be installed as the default My Computer/Properties pic. Do I cab it with a simple archiver such as WinRAR/StuffIt (I got those 2)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xolox Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 modpe is a program which you need so you can modify the file in such a way that they will be accepted by setup. If you just modify the *.cpl with Resource Hacker, then compress it with CabPack or MakeCAB then setup will reject the file and you will have no System-applet (or setup could halt, which would be even worse...) Check out the links to see what to do...Hint: http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/hacked_files.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prathapml Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Looks like he was asking about this (the pic in my attachment).Look for the pic under "Manufactured and Supported By:".If so, that's pretty simple - read this section of the guide:OEM InfoIf not, that's OK as well - today we've learnt a new hack.

mazin Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 The original poster wanted the OEM one. zbeta misled us into a new nice direction. Thanks, zbeta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabriel_buc Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 @gabriel_buc .. i use Resource Hacker too. What you do is that you first make a backup of the current sysdm.cpl in windows/system32 and you restart your computer and boot in to the Windows XP installation cd. When you reach the first prompt, press "R" for recovery console. When inside the console, you copy your new sysdm.cpl to the windows/system32 folder and overwrite the existing sysdm.cplOk I tried and it works !!!! 10x zbeta...Just a little add-on:There is no need to boot into the WinXP installation CD. (Maybe some of does who read this topic don't have it ~ I have it ) Just press F8 during the boot sequence and enter Safe Mode with command Prompt. In the prompt copy&overwrite the original sysdm file with the modified one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
