Start Panel Editor 1.1

[futb0l]

nice program, i wish it can add as many icons as you want :p

[John Veteran]

i'm going to re-write it in vb.net and hopefully add something else. for now, here's a workaround for server 2003:

1. open regedit

2. navigate to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion

3. add a new string value called "CSDVersion" (case sensitive)

4. change the value of CSDVersion to "Service Pack 1"

that should let the program run on server 2003, but after you make your modifications, i highly suggest you remove this value, until SP1 for server 2003 comes out.

A better system for making Windows Server accept your panel editor:

1. Download the Application Compatibility Toolkit from Microsoft. Its a great tool and you'll need it later anyway.

2. Install the ACT.

3. Open Compatibility Administrator.

4. Click Fix and use XPSP1VersionLie on the EXE.

5. Save your SDB file.

6. Register the SDB file.

7. Run the app, see if it works!

Edit: Unless you used the registry to obtain the value. In the future, use GetVersionEx.

The good thing about this is that it only makes a change for your app, and you don't have to go change the registry every time you use it.

In the next minor release, please change it to SP1 and higher. This can be done using GetVersionEx.

In VB.NET, use System.Enviroment.OSVersion.

This is a great program! I'm definitely going to have some fun with the OEM, and I'll be able to remove my dad's OEM label. (two different machines) Thank you!

very nice i'm sure i'll get a lot of use out of this thanks for the work

[John Veteran]

thanks :happy:

i should also mention, neowin's recent rollback caused the file to be deleted, so i re-uploaded it. it's the exact same version however, no changes.

[futb0l]

[OptiPlex]

works with 2003?

Only with a hack ;)

Look at the older posts in this thread.

IS this app used to make stuff like this (picture below):

[John Veteran]

optiplex: yes, it lets you add/modify/remove that icon and also lets you modify the run, search, help, and internet icons. if you have one of the KB updates, it will add another icon you can modify as well :)

Howcome it comes up with a message box and then takes me to a website even when I have SP1 installed?

How to remove an icon you added??

[mayamaniac]

It should be called Start Panel Icon Replacer to be more prcise of what it does. ;)

Cause when I saw the thread I was excited about a software to customize the entire start panel, but was mistaken :(

Still its a good app and does exactly what its meant to do.

[aadhu]

[Dazzla Veteran]

Ding, ding, ding. As above, how do we remove a custom icon?

[AaronMT]

Umm yeah, how do we remove an icon now?

[Dazzla Veteran]

I removed mine manually from the registry, you're gonna have to search for it, I can't remember where it was.

[Midnight Mick]

So you can install an additonal Icon on the Start Menu with this tool but it is not capable of removing it?

Right...! :blink:

[itsnotabigtruck]

You can remove all icons on the right side of the start menu with Taskbar Properties.

Edit: Case in point:
