no it wont, there is alot of difference ion the explorer so it will fubbar up and wont start the explorer

It's the same addresses in all languages.

English Windows 2000, SP2

...and...

Swedish Windows 2000, SP2

...has the same addresses for those variables.

Should be the same with SP3.

But I won't download some strange application that I have never used before and then try to patch it myself.

I've fixed it...

I have 256 colors now. :woot:

I gave Hex Workshop a chance, it was pretty easy.

I couldn't kill explorer.exe in the taskmanager so I had to reboot into fail safe mode with command prompt(cmd.exe only)

I backed up the old one and copied the patched one and then I rebooted. :D

Now i have 256 colors!!! :D

Isn't it possible to make windows copy explorer.exe from DllCache to \WinNT when booting?

I will do this with my Windows 98 machine too. Just for fun. :)

And if it's possible to automate the replace process then I will write an application that will do it. :)

Can somebody please upload a patched Windows Explorer 5.00.2195 SP2 (executable)

so I can replace it using Safe mode (or DOS).

I can't patch it at my work (because of the security).

but win2k would let you replace it ??? ;) :blink: :wacko: that would be a strange security
