oh, it you want to make your drives REALLY like longhorn (so only windows drive has the flag), add the following as a .reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\C]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\C\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\Resources\\DriveIcons\\windrive.ico"

Disable the longhorn drive icon on your icon changer and copy it into C:\WINDOWS\Resources\DriveIcons\ as windrive.ico

with a bit of common sense you can change this about to your actual %windir%.

Maybe something to include in LH transformation pack 8.0? This is more longhorn-like, I hate the windows flags on every partition.

That said, good work on LH trans pack 7 WindowsX!

I'm having trouble downloading it (freezes), so the sooner we can get a good mirror, the better.

Can't get it to work.

It doesn't really freeze or give me any error message.

It comes to a point, where it tells me that it's going to bring up my Lunar Theme &

I should click OK. It never brings it up & it just sits in the background forever.

I then closed the program (ctrl + alt + delete = as you can't see it running),

changed over to windows xp theme (lunar) & reran the program. Still the

same message. I also get this in safe mode as well.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! omg dude this is teh best version. just 2 things well 3 actually. 1st, the boot screen worked the first time but when i last restarted my pc it was the original sp2 screen. 2nd basically the same prob the changing themes and logoff and shut down screens or u know windows well reverted to original xp style (not the logon screen but the lil box that comes up) and 3rd is when the sidebar is on, there is a weird color under all my icons like red or something instead of the usual transparency. is there anyway to get rid of that? other than that man this is a very very very sweet release. great job!

      I totally disagree. Very little good comes out of governments all around the world manipulating everything they can and usually the people are not the benefactors. What you say about being restricted and expensive sounds almost like the arguments against firearms and why banning them will protect people as if making something illegal somehow will prevent the criminals from having and using them. AI being far less mainstream could simply mean the average person will not benefit, but "big brother" and the corporations will benefit, which is almost for sure NOT a good thing.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By RejZoR · Posted

      "connect with audiences" is the most obvious corporate speak you can think of. I only bought Need for Speed from EA because it was the only racing game with cops in existence and I dig that. Now that they killed off NFS franchise, I have nothing to spend money on. EA is officially dead for me, just like Ubisoft which I've been boycotting for some 20 years now...
