2. Bug reports/disclaimer

As far as I know, you are free to use and modify any of these files as long as you givecredit to their original artists. You are free to use my bitmaps in any way, asthey areall my original work and I really don't care too much... I'm not gonna copyrightthem.However, please give me credit for the dll and explorer files and smart folder if you posta variation of them. Thanks!

Please send me a note on DA with any bug reports. Some elements of Windows willstill bepresent, such as some icons and bitmaps. However, anything that the shell32.dllmisses canusually be replaced using the Icontweaker theme I posted a link to on my resource page.

3. Disablerollback registry keys


2/3

It is very important that you merge these keys with your registry prior to installing therest of these files. If you do not do so, Windows will return your shell32.dllto its originalstate the next time Automatic Updates runs. Following the instructions in the read me fileprovide with the keys, install them before proceeding any further.

4. Shell32.dll, themeui.dll, msgina.dll, mydocs.dll, xpsp1res.dll and explorer

a. WIndows file protection:

I. Windows XP Service Pack 2

For Windows XP SP 2, you can use the Windows File protection switcher

(http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Windows-File-Protection-Switcher/1106499902/1).

II. Windows XP Service Pack 3

For machines running SP 3, the process is much more complicated,but this is guaranteed to

work, unlike the File protection switcher app. Follow the stepsat the following linkto disable windows file protection:http://www.msfn.org/board/Disable-XP-SFC-WFP-Works-With-SP3-t110

b. To use explorer:

After these steps are done, simply navigate to your C:\WINDOWS directoryand rename your

explorer.exe. Name it something like "explorer_original.exe." Then, copy and paste the

explorer that is included in this pack in to your C:\WINDOWS directory.

c. To use shell32.dll, themeui.dll, mydocs.dll, xpsp1res.dll, and msgina.dll

FOr shell32.dll, msgina.dll, mydocs.dll, xpsp1res.dll and themeui.dll, the steps are similar. Navigate to the

C:\WINDOWS\system32 directory. Find and rename the original shell32.dll, msgina.dll, mydocs.dll, xpsp1res.dll,

and themeui.dll. After that, copy and paste files included in this packin to your C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder.

After this is done, restart your computer to see the changes. If your icons on your system

do not change, run the icon refresh utility included with this download.

You may deleteyour original system files after this if you wish. However, I would STR

ONGLY recommend savingbackups of the original files someplace else, like an external hard dri

ve or CD-RW so youcan revert at any time.
