The purpose is to have the unattended install, updates, hotfixes (if needed), configuration, and third party security software all installed using one disc with no interaction. Getting closer. Third party security software has taken some time to get familiar with the command line switches for proper install using some batch file(s), and then the batch file has to pull a script to set the 3rd party prog up with the correct options. I found it intriguing at first, but now just want to have something that works.

Nlite includes an option to patch your uxtheme.dll and more options you might useful in creating your unattended disc

Thanks, worked perfectly.

Multi-patcher 4.0 (at the time I wasn't aware of 5.0) failed to patch a new version of XP w/ SP2 and all Feb. patches slipstreamed.

I was getting explorer.exe crashes everytime I opened a Windows Explorer window.

This worked great; and no Windows File Protection!

I've already installed UXtheme multipatcher 5.5, but have heard this may work better. Aside from doing an entire system restore or something, is there any way I can use this instead? Or can I just install this over UXtheme multipatcher 5.5.

Oh yeah, and can this, if "improperly installed" keep my computer from booting up? O___O And if I do a partial system restore, will uxtheme.dll go back to normal, XP factory settings?

Thanks!

Be nice if you could fix the link in the 1st post :(

Would it be possible to have your permission to distribute this patcher with my themes? :)

Thanks in advance

You'll have to get in touch with Flyakite for that. I saw the link was dead so I just hunted down a working link via google and posted it. This patch works effortlessly for XP.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
