b0r3d Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Hey guys. Im going to write a guide on how to customize the look and feel of your windows XP, and add that to your Unattended XP cd.This guide will include details on the following.UXTheme.dll and ThemesWallpapers and ScreensaversBoot ScreensLogin ScreensIf anyone could make my work a litlte easier and give me links to threads that have already been started in this forum on how to do some of the items stated above (such as wallpapers and boot screens) ill turn it into one big guide, and make it sticky.Keep in mind that there is no need for any links to the UXTheme.dll replacement, as AaronXP has that on the main website.Cheers guys. Note: This guide will only relate to things that are 'cosmetic'. That is, it will not include tweaks and tips for that kind of customization.

Alanoll Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 well you can disable WFP using the hacked sfc.dll in this forum.... search uxtheme and you should find it.then you edit the hive files with one line to default it to disabled so it doesn't overwrite during setup.Bye Bye file protectionback to topic,I'm really interested in some of this, particularyly the the boot logo and login logos..
