GrofLuigi Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Hi,If have Windows XP themes disabled and I never intend to use them, is it safe to delete *.manifest files for various applications? Or they are compiled to depend on this file and will break if it's not present? I know that they can also have it embedded.I'm asking not from the aspect of programming, but as an ordinary user (although I think reducing the number of dlls called can reduce memory usage/bloat and benefit stability).Also, can I kill WindowsLogon.manifest, logonui.exe.manifest and WindowsShell.Manifest? I'm afraid it won't boot.GL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrofLuigi Posted March 25, 2007 Author Share Posted March 25, 2007 Update: I've delleted all *.manifest files I could find on my disk. Nothing broke up, except firefox, so I returned them there. I don't know if it's just me, but everything seems faster. The UI looks a little more like Win2000, which is what I wanted. Now, if anyone has any suggestions as to disable more parts of the themes component? I'm looking into editing the *.theme files, but not as usual - to apply unsigned themes, but to kill'em all.
