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.
