I am having to agree with graf,
Back before Vista (but just a little bit) I was trying my damnest to inject those strange little longhorn/vista AVI into 'downloading from internet' dialogs @ shell32.dll. Them were some badass AVI (at least compared to the same ole' little sheet jumping from earth and into a manilla folder with the outline turning red).
If I have ever figured out anything with MS OS, it wasn't how to apply those beautiful AVI.
P.S. I agree with you too Ero. Why change what's beautiful?
We just want to add to it.
