AMIRZ

Cool tutorial looks very useful, saved and bookmarked, thanks for sharing! :thumbsup_anim:

Welcome 2 Wincert :thumbsup_anim:

Sorry late: Happy Birthday Rick, may God bless you

Yea it's lovely... :dribble: :giveheart:

(Lol i'm just back btw) welcome to Wincert marillo :thumbsup_anim:

BBCode error? Oops sorry Rick i really didn't realize/notice that (case sensitive), just recently updated the old post last night, copying and pasting hehe..., many thanks for the helpful info and fixing the code. Hey actually you're the best man here Rick, seriously you've already been my idol for along time with your greatest job :thumbsup_anim: two thumbs up for you bro... You're welcome and thanks for the compliment mate, hope that they would be useful too as well... Edit: Just Added Here: Vista or Windows 7 style application "Windows Help and Support" Mod for XP: Just released it on my Deviantart page too: http://amirsyahrani.deviantart.com/art/XP-Help-and-Support-Mod-144830894 Well, i have noticed that the XP Help and Support application did not even get attention (not patched/skinned, except only for e.g. the help logo on start menu) from most well-known XP transformation packs so far (including even Vista Transformation Pack, Vistamizer, Bricopack Inspirate etc). So it might be necessary to create it by myself and share to people and XP users here, especially for "total XP transformation" as best as possible i hope...it's not perfect yet but still make XP Help and Support look fresh and updated, just like Windows Help and Support in Vista or Windows 7 (AKA Windows Help and Support). As already tested, it works on Windows XP all versions as well: XP Pro, Home, Tablet PC 2005, and MCE 2005, also retail, corporate, and OEM version. No original functionality is removed/disabled. It's for XP SP3 (should be no problem since most of XP users already have SP3 installed nowadays, whatever the version: Pro, Home, MCE, Tablet PC and so on...) - Screenshot of Vista / Windows 7 like Help and Support on XP: (click to enlarge) It will change some GUI elements of XP Help and Support applications such as icons and toolbar icons, images, text, searchbar etc just like Vista or Windows 7 version (e.g. "Windows Help and Support" on the title bar and taskbar instead of "Help and Support Center" and so on, as you can see the preview/screenshot above...). Note the color itself is also depending on XP theme engine and visual style (for example i used black VistaXP theme in the screenshot btw). Furthermore it still can be customized on some features though, e.g. just like html pages by yourself... - Download links for the application and more info: http://amirsyahrani.deviantart.com/art/XP-Help-and-Support-Mod-144830894 and/or http://www.4shared.com/file/127541912/a129b654/Vista_like_Help_and_Support_ap.html - Mahjong Titans game "ported" to XP : http://rudy-xp.deviantart.com/art/Mahjong-Titans-Game-for-XP-164322836 Anyway good luck and cya...

Lol sorry late, happy birthday N1K, wish u the best of the best of the best... :thumbsup_anim:

Thanks George King for this project wow finally :thumbsup_anim: i can't promise anything (busy now) but maybe i'll try to contribute something, later Anyway long live XP!

^ Thanks for the tutorial but...in English please mate? (this is an English speaking forum/subforum)

LMAO so funny thanks

Lol same here However i'm a big fan of Intel and NVidia, sounds very familiar to me

It works fine on Windows 7 N1K, you can also check my post: http://www.wincert.net/forum/index.php?/topic/6013-microsoft-tinker-and-texas-holdem-games-for-vista-non-ultimate-all-and-windows-7/

Thanks for the info guys

The explorer toolbar icons are in shell32.dll as Bitmap resources (204 - 217)

Nice work, yeah i love playing the game too

Welcome 2 Wincert :thumbsup_anim: Hahaha agreed bro

^ Lol Rick i just remembered what my friend poolsharkzz said: "XP Till The World Blows Up" hahaha, yea actually i still love the old great OS especially with full mod etc, while Windows 7 is really worth to have though. Btw basically the hack could still be done manually also i.e just by changing major and minor OS version in PE header (optional header) in the binaries (exe, dll..) to downlevel (e.g from 6.0 to 4.0) and maybe some dependency/some functions import to proper libraries (just like Alky i.e changed from Kernel32.dll to its own Vkernel32.dll) and so on bla bla, anyway yea it still requires someone with advanced hacking knowledge though

Thanks good AV and it's free. Running it now, seems nice :thumbsup_anim:

Thank you N1K personally i'd still prefer the previous darker skin though but it's OK anyway keep 'em coming

:thumbsup_anim: Wow thanks mate but maybe next time could you upload it to another place e.g MediaFire waiting 500 seconds is not fun lol

Lol i have Windows 7 and XP also installed. Please consider the fact that there are still more XP users than Vista and Windows 7 out there: e.g http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_os.asp while the OS is and will still be supported by MS until 2014 and all or most of 3rd party softwares are still compatible with it, so i think that making any transformation pack and apps for XP will be still useful, seems at least for 1-3 years forward maybe :thumbsup_anim: sorry just my personal opinion here. Good luck anyway. But yeah unlike Vista Windows 7 is really awesome OS, worth to try and have.

Btw M$ and OEM manufacturers should really include ALL latest generic drivers (yea +SATA etc) in XP SP3 CD before they stopped selling and supporting it, sad... :sad01_anim: . Anyway it's nice to hear that finally it's working for you

Nice tip thanks bro

Great idea sorry i'm not so good on Photoshop lol but yea will still support it :thumbsup_anim:
