How to turn off animations?

[dwolf]

Hello everyone. . . Anyone know a way to turn off the animations? You know, during copy, delete, etc? I have a very dark theme and the alpha bordering on the images doesn't appear to be too clean (not a knock, this release is AWESOME!), I just like to turn those off and kick 'em back to the old, simple ones.

Any ideas how this could be done via CMD line or the installer?

Thanks!

The only way i know of is /nodll but then you would have none of the icons either. The avi file's you want to kill are really a big part of the xpize process. The only things I can think of are get a new theme or forget xpize.

Take original AVIs from shell32.dll with Reshacker or similar and replace XPize ones in C:\WINDOWS\XPize\Resources\shell32.dll (they must have same filename). Then, go to registry string [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\XPize\FILES] and edit shell32.dll's value to whatever you want. Finally run XPize Reloader and reboot.

Great! Thanks. . . But, what would I have to edit the value in the reg for?

[dwolf]

Never mind. . . helps when you investigate prior to spewing something stupid out of your mouth. Answer -- to let the reloader know that something has changed and needs updated.

Thanks! Again, GREAT WORK!!

One more question. . . without searching through all the various DLLs, etc. Where are the AVIs stored for IE download animations?

Occache.dll

Thank you! Figured it was that or 'shodocvw.dll'. Appreciate it!
