Hi. Well i have been working hard to get more into WSFI and to also make some changes. Anyway, you can now integrate your Wallpapers, Sound and cursors without having to delete then from with in WSFI. New Release. V1.10 Here's what's new. Added - Alky for applications. Added - Windows Vista Sidebar. (Thank you to Ricktendo64 as credits goes to him for Vista Sidebar.) Added - Path Copy Added - DirectX 10 Added - Aero Snap (Win 7) NOTE: These are not addons they are integrated directly in the XP source as part of the OS. Rewrote the user registry entries section and changed there UI. (I think it is a lot easier to enter registry entries. You can just paste your entries into the window.) Changed the way the Wallpaper, Sound Schemes and Cursors are added. You do not have to remove them from with in WSFI first. (It is recommended that you remove these from with in WSFI due to the way they are removed.) I have not tested when removed from another application. Disabled the option to integrate sound schemes while i rewrite and make changes to the code. I have not tested the move My Documents location so i would be greatful if someone could test it for me.) Main Menu: Documents and Setting will be enabled in next version. Registry Tweaks are not implemented yet. ***************************************************************************************************************** I have tested all the integrations and all is integrated without any problems. I have also tested it in VMWare and it ran fine. (Needed to make sure no files are missing.) NOTE: You will need .NET 3.5 installed Click here to download. Please leave some feedback here. Bugs/Comments ect. Thankyou. Download ************************************************************************ WSFI will allow you to integrate all you Wallpaper, Sound Schemes and Cursors without the need to use the $OEM$ folder. WSFI will integrate them all into your Windows Source folder. So what sort of things to expect to be able to do with WSFI? Here is a list of the things to look forward to as WSFI is developed. 1. Integrate wallpaper directly into your XP source. (Done) 2. Integrate sound schemes directly into your XP source. (Done) 3. Integrate visual style directly into your XP source. (Not implemented yet) 4. Integrate cursors directly into you XP source. (Done) 5. Change the location of the My Documents folder. (Done) Not Tested 6.

Integrate Modified System Files. (Done) 12. Integrate DreamScenes. (Done) 13. Added Vista Sidebar. (Done) NEW 14. Added Alky for applications. (Done) NEW (Needed for Vista Sidebar) 15. Added DirectX 10 (Done) NEW 16. Added Path Copy (Done) NEW 17. Added AeroSnap (Done) NEW This will stop the need of using the $OEM$ folder and eventually stop the need of using .Reg files. Regards Worf

Thought it might puzzel some. Basicaly i am adding some DreamScenes to my windows source and i want to be able to select them from the wallpaper properties instead of having to browse for them.

Hi. When you bring up the desktop properties and select the desktop tab you get a list of different wallpapers in the window. Now my question is how would i go about listing htm file in the same window without having to click on the browse button? I have tried different methods but as yet none seem to work and i am guessing i need to do something else apart from adding entries into the registry hive files. Many Thanks Worf.

Hi ccl0 Apart from using a hacked .exe i am not sure. One of the features i would like to incorperate into WSFI would be to be able to hack system files with predefined settings but at the moment i don't know how to do that at the moment. Maybe when i have added what i want into WSFI i may look into this. One thing you will be able to do in WSFI will be to integrate modded system files which i am hoping to introduce in the next release. By the way, have you tried it because i want to know if it worked on other peoples machines. Regards Worf

Thank you for you positive reply. I will as you say keep going with it as there are a lot of things i want it to do to make it easier for users to customize there unattended XP CD's. I have a lot of ideas to implement into it. I was hoping for some feed back on whether it is working on other users machine. Anyway, i will do a some more work on it ready for the next release.

Well it has been over a week now since i released WSFI and still no feed back from anyone who has downloaded and tried it. So it seems to me that there does not seem to be that much interest in it, which means that i am considering stopping development of WSFI. I thought that there would have been a lot more interest in it than i have had and as there hasn't, means that there is no point in myself waisting my time carrying on with it when there are other things i could be doing. It is sad. Regards Worf

You don't need to worry about the SFC as long as MODIFYPE has been used on the file when it was compressed.

Just copy it into your Windows Source overwriting the default Notpad.ex_ Regards Worf

Hi q123 Yes it is, just compress the shell32.dll to shell32.dl_ and just copy it in to your Windows Source. You can use something like Compression Bin to compress it. Regards Worf

Well i posted the wrong link for the download I have now posted the correct link. Sorry about that. Worf

Hi ccl0 You can download it from the top of this thread, just click download. Or you can download it from my website right at the bottom of the page. Worf

Hi ccl0 Yep still been working on it, taken all this time to sort out the Wallpaper and sound scheme problems. Then i spent a while trying to sort out the problems with the cursor integration. Just waiting now for any replies and comments/suggestions on it, just hope it runs ok on other peoples computers as i only have my machine to test it on, and it runs and integrates everything fine on mine. The main thing i want is to make it easy for people to use and try to impement as much as i can in it. Please let me know how it goes with you. Regards Worf

Hi Thank you for your replies and sorry for takin so long in replying. I will have a look at these .mui files when i have a bit of time to load Win7 in Vmware. Regards Worf

It seems to get written to the registry ok as the Areo cursors show up on the 'Please Wait' screen but on the Welcome screen the cursors revert back to the default cursors and in the registry i get the following instead of the lines in bold. HKCU,Control Panel\Cursors (Default) Aero Hand "%SYSTEMROOT%\Cursors\aero_link.cur" Scheme Source 0x00000001 (1) And if i right click on the inf file and select install, everything is as it should be. Is there something in any of the other .inf files that might be causing this? Many Thanks for any help. Regards Worf

HI. In XP you have Dialog, Menu and String Table in the dll files like (Explorer.exe). But there are no Dialog, Menu or String Table in the dll file of Windows 7. So where are they in Windows 7? Regards Worf

Hi I have loaded some Win7 files into ResHacker and have noticed that the Dialog, Menu and String Table items does not show up. Where are these? Many Thanks Worf

Thank you MANIKANT.S.GUPTA Don't know why this site said to edit the USER.EXE for Windows XP? Regards Worf

Thats ok bud. So if anyone knows how too. :thumbsup_anim:

Thank you for you reply, i know about that it's just editing it in (Microangelo Librarian) as already stated. When i try to load it in Microangelo Librarian it tells me that there are no icons in this file? So i just want to know why it is telling me this when other people say to edit it in Microangelo Librarian. Regards Worf

Hi and thank you for your reply. I have tried to load it into Microangelo Librarian and im told that there are no icons in the file.

Hi. How do you edit the USER.EXE file? I have tried Resource Hacker and it gave me an error, but then found out that it needed to be edited in an Icon Editor. Now the problem is that my icon editor (Axialis Icon Workshop) gave an error saying that it is not a Valid 32 file. Many Thanks for your help Regards Worf

Sorry, got confused when you mentioned about the LAYOUT.INF. Will try what you said and hope that that will work. Many Thanks Worf

So if i put my jpg file as is in SHL_IMG.INF and also in the LAYOUT.INF they should install? Example using an existing jpg file: In the SHL_IMG.INF [Wallpaper.CopyFiles] "%ASCENT_JPG_NAME%",ascent.jpg and in the LAYOUT.INF ascent.jpg = 1,,63244,,,,,,3,3 Then the jpg's should install?

One thing i forgot to ask is. How does the default wallpaper get installed by SHL_IMG.INF as there is no [sourceDisksNames.x86] or [sourceDisksFiles]? All referances to the wallpapers i have found is only in TXTSETUP.SIF, DOSNET.INF and SHL_IMG.INF. Regards Worf
