Art3x Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I was wondering if it is possible to get a shell32 that works with service pack 3. I know if you get the wrong shell32 it'll kill your install, so i'm very nervous about it. Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyther Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Granted I'm not helping you, but I would suggest not modifying your system files, because from my experience you just run into trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raa Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 What do you want to modify in shell32? If you want to change it, just make a copy and reshack it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to change the avi's and all. I've seen packs to do it, but I don't wanna screw anything up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skulltrail-old Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I know if you get the wrong shell32 it'll kill your install, so i'm very nervous about it. Not necessarily. If you have access to use another OS on the same HDD, then you are fine. Just make sure to make a backup of the original Shell32.dll. What I do is just gain owner privileges and then rename it to Shell32.old. To restore, just delete the newer version and rename the original back into a DLL file. When I "kill" my install, I go into Knoppix or Ubuntu, wander through my HDD, into my Vista OS partition, change the files adequately, restart, boot into Vista. I either boot into Knoppix through my USB or into Ubuntu with my LiveCD. Which ever is closer to me. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
