January 22, 201016 yr Has anybody figured this out yet.Figured out WHAT? jaclazHow to use the Win98SE Shell32.dll/Explorer.exe with Mindows
January 23, 201016 yr How to use the Win98SE Shell32.dll/Explorer.exe with MindowsNO, but I don't think anyone even attempted it.I mean, the point of Mindows is to create a Minimal 9x, if you use the 98 shell, you'll also have IE and all the bloat coming with it. While making it a "full" 98 is out of the scope, maybe it is possible to only selectively make a particular app requiring Win98 shell32.dll work.Something like what was done by FDV for NT/2K:http://www.msfn.org/board/nt4-explorer-xp-t138242.htmlonly the other way around. jaclaz
January 23, 201016 yr I mean, the point of Mindows is to create a Minimal 9x, if you use the 98 shell, you'll also have IE and all the bloat coming with it. jaclazI read your post and I don't believe you. Winimizer said Now I can kick back and pump out an installer for a Mindows which uses the Windows98 shell. It'll be larger than the basic Mindows(95), but still small, and of course, free of IE.
January 23, 201016 yr I read your post and I don't believe you.That's good , as I also don't believe myself, though you found a rather unpolite way to express it. The whole point of the "unsure" emoticon was that I wasn't and am not really sure about it.Winimizer said Now I can kick back and pump out an installer for a Mindows which uses the Windows98 shell. It'll be larger than the basic Mindows(95), but still small, and of course, free of IE.Yep, but he said that here:http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=1508on Feb 22 2007, a little less than 3 (three) years ago, and he disappeared since.He was last "seen" on Jul 7 2007:http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?...ic=2566&hl=So, IF it is possible (unlike all known previous attempts) to add the Windows 98 SHELL32.DLL and EXPLORER.EXE WITHOUT adding of the IE bloat, noone - exception made for the mere declaration of intents by Winimize you quoted - seems like having attempted it AFAIK.Does it sound better like this? jaclaz
January 26, 201016 yr If you don`t want to install directx, you can place these files and have Directx advantages without install itDdhelp.exeDxapi.sysDdraw.vxdDsound.dllDdraw.dllShould I add this direct update quartz.dll 6.5.1.907?Do I need to register the Direct X 9 files?I don't know if it works, but:Copy SHELL32.DLL 4.72 as SHELL32.SOL to C:\Windows\system.Use a hex-editor on Spider Solitare EXE and replace all SHELL32.DLL to SHELL32.SOL.If it wouldn't work (AND ONLY IF IT WOULDN'T), do that:Copy EXPLORER.EXE from any shell update as EXPLORER.SOL to C:\Windows.Use a hex-editor on EXPLORER.SOL and replace any SHELL32.DLL to SHELL32.SOL.Use a hex-editor on SHELL32.SOL and replace any EXPLORER.EXE to EXPLORER.SOL.It can make your 98/ME 1-2 MB bigger BUT you have the game.I want to credit Nathan Lineback (or how it was) for the idea.Does anybody use this method?
