there is also an application that I use called stylexpservice.exe that lets you use non-windows styles. it's 20 bucks but it comes with cool styles and allows you to turn it on and off as needed. And allows quick style changes without going into windows/resources/themes. free 30 day trial with nagware after that.

I've personally found more success in this program

Damn.

And yes Mr magoo I can confirm this one does not work with the offical WinXP Sp1 Beta 1. :(

It even kills the standard three microsoft themes.

Anyways in case if anyone needs the orignal uxtheme:

But at least stylexp 2.0 works great with winxp sp2 beta 1. Any news on a new uxtheme?

It seems like there's some regsitry detection problem on XPSP2 beta. Thus this, could someone save HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion (Without Subkey data) on XPSP2 Beta OS and post it here please?

Sure.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

is this a definite change or there's an option to uninstal lthe changes this does ?

-----------------------

nevermind, it is, but then if i understand correctly, if i want to patch windows after having patched uxtheme, i need to unpatch that file first?

Actually... this is where I got confused... :( :huh:

    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I hear you on browser password manager, in my case I have two Google profiles, one was created when Google decided to grandfather us out of Workspace for Domains (with the replacement being too expensive for 25 users) resulting in my domain email address no longer being able to be registered to a new Workspace I created (for myself and another co-owner) so I could use Takeout and sync over some stuff to the new Workspace. Then I have my personal Google profile which I could be logged into on my desktop or Mobile, so I am saving passwords on one or the other, and when an URL changes another password for the same service gets added, it basically ends up being a giant mess. Unless I missed something is there a local decent password manager that can override the browser password managers for Chrome, Edge, Firefox (profiles) so that there is only one vault, and does that also support Passkeys (which to me are still confusing because sometimes it will ask for a Passkey on a phone I am no longer using!) Microsofts implementation of Passkeys is the worst!

      It's utterly baffling that we have no idea when we'll get new features even well after they've been released. Why Microsoft thinks this is a good rollout strategy is beyond me.

      I owned a lot of Soundblaster cards over the years all the way back to the ISA slot era. I use a Soundblaster X3 external now because I'm able to run it through a KVM and have it follow the machine I happen to be using. It drives a set of JBL 305 powered monitors wonderfully. I'm not gaming or doing home theater through it, so rear channels aren't a consideration for me, though it does have side / rear / sub outputs.
