can someone post likes to the downloads on on page 1 again?

It dosen't exist anymore as far as I can tell.

Dose any body running XP SP2 have an unhacked version of the following files for my uninstall.

C:\Windows\System32

netshell.dll

appwiz.cpl

The Explorer.exe for win2k is currently untested. I would advise you to make a backup of explorer.exe before installation. Are there any MS Office 2000 users wanting this download?, if not then I can scrap the WinXP base version.

Edit_By the way, you get the propper My Computer icon in the pack, The R2D2 is just me messing around, it dosen't come in the replicator as the default icon by you can find it in C:\Windows\System32\filestypes.dll

Whatever, just want to say that your desktop looks awsome and, more importantly...Boulevard of Broken Dreams is one of my all-time favorite songs along with "It's My Life" by Bon Jovi!

I want that Media Player skin. :blush: . Anyone have a link for that directly?

its not a skin, its a stand alone Widget. you can download it with my pack when it comes out or you can download it. I will post a link when I find it.

here is the screenshot it was based upon. As you cab see in the quicklaunch the "shortcut to desktop" icon has not changed at all since Windows XP, wich I think is very boring and it will probably be canged in a later beta version of Vista anyway so in my pack I am usind this icon.

If anyone has any problems with this then you can change it back to the XP icons, use Resource Hacker and open the followind files Shell32.dll and Explorer.exe. Cange the icons back to the origional XP icons and then using replacer. This will not damage the uninstall file or stop it uninstalling properly.

The wiget has been based on this image

O.K. I have a bit of a problem with my pack. In the uninstall. I need away that I can get your orional files into the uninstall. The only time I have seen this done is with bricopacks. Dose anybody know where I can get a Bricopack maker from. i would be very helpful for your assistance. There are some example bricopackes on CrystalXP. Unfortunately the Longhorn one is all backward of Vista and the Vista one is just plain blue. Otherwise I would of just posted a link to one of them.

If anyone has any idea of where to get a Bricopacks maker, I think its called bricomix, then please email me

Does this work as it should? A litle sceptic to apply such packages.

You should be, it will work as well as other bricopacks. I haven't heard of a bricopack causing problems and if it dose, bricopacks make a system restore point when you install them and the uninstall contains your system files, not the authors. this pack only replaces the bitmaps inside the system files, not the system file.

      The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
    • Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account

      "it opens up new doors for people who prefer using Edge, but cannot be bothered to configure a Microsoft account" You already have a Microsoft account if you are using Windows 11, because you can't set it up without one.
