Originaly intended for use in NT4 Visual Update Project (btw. awergh thank you for giving me an idea)...

As I saw that there is no done explorer.exe patch so i did one myself...
There isn't one on Dr Hoiby's site so i had to find another solution...

Enjoy...

what version of explorer.exe are you using 4.0 (standard) or 4.7 (with shell update)

Yes I've figured it out.
I didn't check version of the patched one (4.0.1381.282) and I swapped 4.72.3612.1700 (the shell updated one) with it like some moron
Im sure it works fine on a non-shell updated NT4. I just changed my previous post, my apologies for false alarm

Which offset/bytes do I have to change?
TIA

you need to ask TM0d that, but i did mention that he should patch exlorer.exe 4.7

[RYANMJ]

hey, this may sound like a stupid question, but do you happen to have this for 2k?, Ive tried dr. hoiby's hex editing thing, no luck, the comp that has 2k has no internet, some help removing this eye soar would be much appreciated.

Give me some more info about your explorer.exe version... I could make a patch for it...

[RYANMJ]

My Explorer Info:

Windows 2000 Professional SP 4

Explorer Version: 5.00.3700.6690

Thanks in Advance Dude

[marxo]

Try upgrading to IE6 cuzz i see u are running IE5.0 am i right? This version is undocumented for patching and a rare one ... If u cannot upgrade or update your exporer upload your explorer.exe and i'll try doing something... But I cannot promise....

[RYANMJ]

Very Well, Ill Upgrade. Thanks for the Info

[RYANMJ]

I Copied This to My C:\WINNT Dir, Nothing, I Use Taskman, and The Command Prompt to copy, did I screw up somewhere along the lines here?

[RYANMJ]

Yes of course
/edit/
same as everyone else does:
0x
...088E6
...14E1D
...14E2E
9th byte in each; 0x01 -> 0x11

Im running w2k on almost all of my machines.
Is this 256-colors system tray enough for ya?:

(replaced with screencap of running winamp with hi-col icon in systray)

Well, this I cannot tell...
It is from my w2k system [edit: ENGLISH W2K] (as in the screencap above) standard issue w2k pro with sp4 and ie6 (and all updates, but that doesnt matter)
I dont know what ya did, but thats how i always do it the easy way:
I copy patched explorer to \winnt directory as explorer.new
restart in safe mode with command prompt
rename original explorer.exe to explorer.ori (REN EXPLORER.EXE EXPLORER.ORI)
rename patched explorer from explorer.new to explorer.exe (REN EXPLORER.NEW EXPLORER.EXE)
restart
and voila, it must work... (all ofcoz must be done with admin priviledges or as admin) so I dont know what you did there, used taskman to kill explorer process and replace old explorer with new explorer at command prompt? (thats what it seems to me from what you wrote) IMHO it should work too... did u rebooted? Didnt you have message from WFP about file missing or being wrong and it was relaced with "correct one" or something?
