changing folder name to c10k fixed it danke danke!

it's actually safer to just close explorer.exe and then rename the old MSGINA.DLL to MSGINA.DLL.BAK and then replace it...that way if u fuk up you can always go back to the original...then restart explorer.exe of course...that's the best way personally....

hey

can someone please tell me if this is a safe way of replacing the shutdown diaglog file:

1. boot into safe mode - admin

2. rename the old file to .old.

3 put in the edited version

4. reboot

thanks

and gigatexel, please allow dp004i to post his mod.

omg, if you don't want to take the help that's offered to you, then don't ask for it. That program is like 5kb and it's the easiest way to replace system files. If you'd actually read what came with the theme, you'd have already learned a different "safe" way to replace your system files. As to your question, yes, that will work.

That program is the ###### :) Thanks for link.

A bunch of people PMed me asking for my mod of C10K (screenshot), would you mind if I post it here?

Please don't post or distribute the color scheme you made, Bant and I will eventually get around to doing more color schemes. I finished ergonomic which coincidentally is almost the same color as the one in your screenshot. Once I finish two more colors then I'll post an update, harass Bant so he'll make more color schemes for his mod. :p

No biggie guys, there are a bunch of different ways to replace system files. Here's how I do it:

Delete msgina.dll from both your 'dllcache' and 'ServicePackFiles' folders. Easiest way to get to those folders is to open up a Run box and type their names in. Once that's done go to your 'System32' folder (again use a Run box), find msgina.dll and rename it to msgina.bak at this point Windows File Protection will pop up. Click Cancel then Ok and copy one of the msgina files from my archive to 'System32' and rename it to 'msgina.dll'. I usually log off then back on to see the changes since it's faster than rebooting but sometimes you may have to reboot.

If I didn't confuse the hell out of you with my half-assed explanation let me know how it goes.

giga, you will include the red scheme that I did?

Giga, sorry I didn't get to do the final beta testing. I was in Chicago all week. I had good fun and good shopping though. :D BTW, turned out to be an AWESOME theme. If you need anything from me, I'll be happy to help. :happy:

    • I wonder how many are laid off for cost savings, and this being blamed on AI to make it sound less scary and bad, for a more positive "modern, with the times" spin for investors? Because Oracle is down 14% the past year. We're looking at a company struggling here. If AI would actually be working out so well for them that they can do massive layoffs, surely this would've been reflected the past year in their stock value?
    • AI is the beginning, wait until real robots replace more jobs, specifically jobs that require physical work.
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it by Hamid Ganji There’s no question that AI has become the hottest trend in workplaces, and every company is trying to adopt AI-driven solutions across its operations. While some industry leaders repeatedly say AI won’t lead to massive layoffs, recent data suggest that AI is actually one of the main reasons some companies are reducing their workforce. According to Oracle’s annual regulatory filing, the company has laid off about 21,000 employees, or 13% of its workforce, amid increasing AI adoption. “The adoption and deployment of AI technologies across our operations have resulted, and may continue to result, in reductions to our workforce,” Oracle said in the filing. The software giant now has approximately 141,000 full-time employees, a notable decrease from 162,000 during the same period last year. Restructuring expenses, including severance payments, cost Oracle $1.84 billion in fiscal 2026. Additionally, around 49,000 Oracle employees were based in the U.S., while approximately 92,000 were employed internationally. Like many other companies, Oracle has fully embraced AI and concentrated much of its efforts on the technology. The company is also a key participant in the United States’ $500 billion Stargate Project, which aims to build multiple AI data centers across the country. When it comes to AI adoption and its impact on the workforce, opinions remain divided. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, whose company has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI boom, recently said in an interview that attributing job cuts to AI is a “lazy” narrative. “The narrative that connects AI to job loss, for many of the CEOs that are doing it – it is just too lazy. AI has just arrived, how is it possible they're already losing jobs?” Huang said. However, statistics and recent reports tell a different story. According to Layoffs.fyi, 196 tech companies have laid off about 119,800 employees so far this year. Reducing staff and replacing roles with AI agents could become one of the most significant trends in the job market in the years ahead.
