I read the thread and didn't see whether or not you can uninstall it. so, is there an uninstaller created? is this only something that can be installed onto the xp cd before you install with it?

The installer works as an ordinary app....you can install it and uninstall it.

Sorry to ask, but is there a chance of the files in a simple Zip?

No, it is not possible. The installer does not include any file, but resources. You can install XPize, search for all modified files, save them in a folder and zip them. Why you want them in a zip? You can see what files have been modified in C:\WINDOWS\XPize (hidden). Here you wil find a folder containing all resources for every file, so you will know which files have been modified.

Hope it helps

XPize news:

The installer will be redesigned so it will have a custom page that has two options:

1) Integrate XPize into the i386 directory of a custom XP CD

2) Install XPize

Hope this solve all problems some people got when I decided to get rid of "classic packs".

EDIT: It will take time to develop it...dont expect it for tomorrow...

the clock is a BIT flashy :D

rest looks good...

Is there a definitive list off all changes made during install?

Frankly , i dont see as much of a change as i thought i would.

I do like the volume control panel tho :D

.........

after using for a bit.. one suggestion.. i would use some kinda "data" images for file transfer dialogue, as i dont remember the last time i used internet explorer to download anything but software, not usually pics, music or videos, know what i mean?

anyway, just a thought, that kinda weirded me out and made me think about uninstalling for a second, i suppose ill try live with it tho for now.

Yes, the clock isn't perfect..I have improved it, but don't expect too much, there is lot of Win95 stuff I can't deal with.

The map is OK, this will be probably the definitive one.

Wel, changes are not so spectacular as in other shell packs cuz this shell pack is based on XP, not in a new look and feel. But if you explorer you Windows, you will see lots of new stuff.

Yeah, a "data" image would be good, but it is very problematic. The white color becomes transparent in animations I design, so it will be difficult to me to create an animation with a goodlooking "data" image in it...I will try though.

Sorry, no list of changes...I started this project just for my own pleasure, so didnt take note of all replacements I did

Can you replace it with a .swf clock? That would be cool if you could use the Longhorn slate clock (.swf version by Windows X, you'll need permission if you use it).

How about patching the Taskbar and Start Menu control panel applet? The icon is only 32x32 not 48x48 and is pixelated.

    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
    • Hello, The Media Creation Tool is still at v10.0.26100.7019 from October 2025. Just looks like the backend has been updated. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Since they open sourced the calculator in Win 10/11 it is much better and can do a lot, I love it.
    • That's just silly imo. The lengths that man goes to just to avoid W11 is just nuts. Very, very few home users would do that. I will say this though, he is committed. Btw, I note on askwoody that Woody Leonhard passed away March, 2025 aged 73. His site was one of my favorites back in the day. Belated yes but RIP Woody.
