Yes, Cooler13-- that will be some feat: salute Gape!

i'm so curious how-- modding some other third party's or the MS 2k/xp ones.......

Just a little message to Gape:

I made an inf file that installs a dll in the windows directory, that dll contains Windows Me icons and the inf file write infos in the registry to change the defaults desktop icons. There is also an uninstall feature.

If you are interested let me know and i send you the files.

WebMatze: Send it please via email.

Thanks!

That's done. I hope it helps.

If it's possible: in "Safe Mode" to have access at CD-ROM drive?

Hi, I been using this tiny shell-patch called MultiEnhancer for over a year. This is free as it's just an enhancement-patch for Comdlg32.DLL, Wininet.DLL and Msoe.DLL. Could this be an option (to patch or not) on some release in the future? External Link: EmulSoft

Since I'm new and I haven't read all the million posts yet, maybe a future option could be to add the XP transparency option to icon text on the desktop. I have used a free 4kB rock-solid piece of resident code that checks every 100ms and enforces it. On a P-166, it adds 1% to the CPU load (according to sysinternals.com - process explorer..) Link: http://www.annoyances.org/downloads/ftp/disappr.zip (requires vb40032.dll)

(There are other transparency options around, but most seem to add other code which would be ruled-out because it's IP protected). Sorry if my first post went long..

MultiEnhancer.zip

why ty

very useful addition and maybe a possible addon to future sp's

Hey everyone,

Dear Gape, I can see that in SP2 beta3 the new icons are removed.

Since I like them very much, cand you put them as an option in the final release?

And also the Start menu side bar with Windows 98 Second Edition tag on it it's not

there anymore, can you insert that too?

10x in advance.

add to Service Pack taskmanager "Cool Beans System Info" is free.

" Link: http://www.annoyances.org/downloads/ftp/disappr.zip"

Doesn't work fcr me. It just makes the icon text black on a solid white background. Blech.

disappr.zip

disappr.zip

that proggy makes the background white and i use blue backgrounds so very useless unless your using a white background.
