neo Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Disable Windows File Protection.....before replacing any system file.Open Command Prompt and run this commandsfc /purgecacheIt deletes Dll Cache and also free space more than 500MB..... Now replace the file and ignore the System files protection dialog box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idontwantspam Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Much, MUCH easier solution:Don't replace logonui.exe. Name the new one logonui2.exe or something. Then, open regedit and go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Winlogon and find the UIhost string. Change its value to logonui2.exe or whatever you named the new one. That way, not only do you not need to worry about windows file protection, you also have the original if you want to switch back or if something goes wrong with the new one.
