Re: TUTORIAL: Make Your Windows XP look-a-like Windows Vista

Oh yes I love them all specially this with the View but Isaw you got your name on top too and I would love to have my name on top of this too. Please tell me how to do this :)

I made soem time ago this Vista Logo before Logon and created two bmp files one in 1024x768 and the other one in my resolution @ 1440x900 because I needed it or it would like hell in any other resolution :(

 

But the rest I just love and there are really great tips I didn't know till now....Thanks to you buddy :)

Its my pleasure buddy.

Regarding to the Name at top of menu, I just added an extra String in Shell32.dll file. Open "Shell32.dll" file in Resource hacker and goto:

Menu -> 215 -> 1033

Now in right-side pane copy following line:

MENUITEM "!*~.VISHAL.~*!", 33333, MFS_GRAYED, MFS_DEFAULT

just after the following code:

215 MENUEX
LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US
{
POPUP ""
{

Thats it. Now Compile the Script and save the file. You can change the string between quotes "!*~.VISHAL.~*!" to any other string.

Re: TUTORIAL: Make Your Windows XP look-a-like Windows Vista 

Thank you for this guide Vishal but I am afraid some of your tips are not working well!After using them,when I tried to update my PCc,it hung and I ended up reformatting my PC!

I just hope others havent experinced the same!

For me,Formatting is once every fortnight but this was tragic as I lost 4GB of data in this!Mosst of which were photos!

Forgive me if I insulted you but still I do hope you inquire into it!

 

Thanks!

Re: TUTORIAL: Make Your Windows XP look-a-like Windows Vista 

^^ You are the first person, who faced any problem in using those tricks. Those are completely safe and accurate. You must hv done some mistake or anything went wrong in your system. I don't take any guarantee. So use them at your own risk.

And regaring to your tut, it has been deleted coz it was plagiarism. Did you bask my permission before posting it? NO. Even you didnt give credits to me. So next time don't forget to ask me before posting my tutorials, etc.
