How can I Modify SHELL32.DLL(Do it ur self)

Modify SHELL32.DLL in safe-mode (the easy way)
This one is straight from Patrick C. – Thanks!
However from an earlier fix I was successful in changing the shell32.dll without crashing win2k. The fact of the matter is simple. turn off the SFC. here is the key.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Value is SFCDisable
REG_DWORD
Change it from 0 (enable)
to the 4294967197 (decimal) which is 0xffffff9d (hex) (duh -Ed)

• Then you need to go into Safemode with command prompt
  
• At the prompt type CD winnt\system32 then type copy shell32.dll newshell32.dll
• Then boot back into normal windows
• Modify the icons in the newshell32.dll file you made using an editor that can deal with the dlls
• Save it and once more switch to Safemode
• At the prompt type CD winnt\system32
• then type ren shell32.dll oldshell32.dll (ren is the DOS rename utility)
• teh type ren newshell32.dll shell32.dll
• Then boot back into normal windows
• Then you can turn the SFCDisable back on and your done

missing general tab in Internet Explorer(Fix It ur self)

A friend asked about missing general tab in Internet Explorer
which contains buttons to clear history and stuff.
Here is how to bring general tab back
CLICK START BUTTON > CLICK ON RUN or (WinKey + R) & type in “regedit”

Then write 0×00000000 (0) at Value data.
Click ok and close window.
Open internet explorer and general is visible again.
Enjoy your privacy.

Top 20 Tips To Keep Your System Faster

Follow these tips and you will definitely have a much faster and more reliable PC! Most of the below tips works for windows 98 1. Wallpapers: They slow your whole system down, so if you're willing to compromise, have a basic plain one instead!
2. Drivers: Update your hardware drivers as frequently as possible. New drivers tend to increase system speed especially in the case of graphics cards, their drivers are updated by the manufacturer very frequently! 3. Minimizing: If you want to use several programs at the same time then minimize those you are not using. This helps reduce the overload on RAM.
4. Boot Faster: The 'starting Windows 95/98' message on startup can delay your booting for a couple of seconds. To get rid of this message go to c:\ and find the file Msdos.sys. Remove the Read-Only option. Next, open it in Notepad or any other text editor. Finally, go to the text 'Options' within the file and make the following changes: Add BootDelay=0. To make your booting even faster, set add Logo=0 to remove the Windows logo at startup. 5. Restart only Windows: When restarting your PC, hold down Shift to only restart Windows rather than the whole system which will only take a fraction of the time. 6. Turn Off Animations: Go to Display Settings from the Control Panel and switch to the Effects Tab. Now turn off Show Windows Content While Dragging and Smooth Edges on Screen Fonts. This tip is also helpful with Windows XP because of the various fade/scroll effects. 7. Faster Start-Menu Access: Go to the Start menu and select Run. Now type Regedit and hit Enter. The Registry Editor will appear on the screen. Now, open the folder HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop. You should see a MenuShowDelay value. If you don't then do the following: right click on a blank space in the right pane and select New\String. Change the name in the new value to MenuShowDelay. Now that we have the MenuShowDelay value, double click on it and enter 0 in the value data field. This sets the start menu delay to 0 milliseconds.
8. Resolutions: If you are willing to do anything for faster performance from your PC, then try lowering your display resolution. The lower it is, the faster your PC. 9. Turn off Active Desktop: Go to your Display Properties and switch to the Web tab. Uncheck View My Active Desktop As a Web Page. Since the Active Desktop option under Windows 98 uses a lot of system resources, this option can have a dramatic effect on the speed of the whole system. 10. Defragment Often: Windows 98's Defrag tool uses Application Acceleration from Intel which means that when you defragment your drive, data is physically arranged on the drive so that applications will load faster. 11. Take your PC to Bed: Using the Advanced Power Management feature under Windows 98 gives you the option to use the sleep command. That way, you can send your PC to sleep instead of shutting it down and then restarting it. It's as simple as pressing a button and then pressing the same button to wake it up. You can tell Windows after how many minutes/hours of inactivity to automatically sleep the machine in the Advanced Power Management section of the Control Panel. 12. Faster Internet Access: If you use the internet for reference and the sites you visit are rarely updated then try the following. In IE (the same can be done in Netscape) go to Tools, Internet Options. Next, click on Settings… in the Temporary Internet Files section. Finally, select Never for the first option and double the amount of storage space to use, click OK! 13. Benchmarking: Benchmarking can be very useful when run frequently. It can tell you how your PC's components are performing and then compare them to other machines like yours. For example, when you overclock your PC, you want to know how much more speed you have and whether it is stable. All this and more can be discovered using benchmarking. An excellent piece of software for doing this job is SiSoft Sandra which can be found in the Downloads File Archive!
14. Refresh the Taskbar without restarting: If you in some way change the taskbar, either in Regedit or elsewhere, you can refresh the task bar without restarting. Hold down Ctrl Alt Del, and double click on Explorer. Say Yes to close Explorer, but no to closing Windows. This will refresh the Taskbar and system tray. 15. Quick CD Eject: Instead of pushing the button on your drive, right-click your CD drive letter in My Computer and click on Eject. This will also remove any icons that have become associated with the CD drive. 16. Start Up Programs: Windows can be slowed down when programs run on start up. To eliminate this, check your Start up folder. You can access it from the start menu: Start, Programs, Start Up. Another way to eliminate programs from loading even before Windows actually starts is by doing the following: Click on Start, then Run. Type msconfig. It will take quite a long time for this program to load, but when you finally see it on your screen, explore the different tabs. They all have to do with how quickly your PC boots, so select what you want, and uncheck what you don't want! 17. Fonts: When Windows starts, it loads every single font in the Fonts folder. Therefore, the more fonts you have, the slower the booting process. To get rid of unwanted fonts, simply go to the Fonts folder under c:\windows and remove whatever you don't want. Fonts that have a red letter 'A' as their icon are system fonts, so don't delete them. 18. Stretching Wallpapers: Don't "stretch" your wallpaper in Windows 98 since it actually slows Windows down when you drag icons around on the desktop. 19. RAM Matters: If you have less than 32MB then you should seriously think of upgrading it to at least 64MB. Windows runs much more smoothly with 64MB or higher and tends to use less hard disk space for virtual memory. 20. Partitioning: A very nice little thing you can do to boost system performance. By partitioning your hard drive, splitting one physical drive into several logical ones, you can gain several advantages. 1. If you get a virus or you accidentally format a drive, not all will be lost. 2. By placing the swap file (Win386.swp) on a separate drive, The swap file will be less fragmented and thus, faster. 3. Place Windows on a separate drive and whenever you need to reinstall it, you rest assured that your data is safe on a separate drive. Partitioning can be done using a few programs such as FDisk which comes with DOS. However, FDisk formats everything on the hard disk before partitioning. Alternatively, you can use Partition Magic from Power Quest to partition your hard disk without losing your data.

Increase your RAM and so system speed

1). Start any application, say Word. Open some large documents.
2). Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC to open Windows Task Manager and click Processes tab and sort the list in descending order on Mem Usage. You will notice that WINWORD.EXE will be somewhere at the top, using multiple MBs of memory.
3). Now switch to Word and simply minimize it. (Don't use the Minimize All Windows option of the task bar).
4). Now go back to the Windows Task Manager and see where WINWORD.EXE is listed. Most probably you will not find it at the top. You will typically have to scroll to the bottom of the list to find Word. Now check out the amount of RAM it is using. Surprised? The memory utilization has reduced by a huge amount.
5). Minimize each application that you are currently not working on by clicking on the Minimize button & you can increase the amount of available RAM by a substantial margin. Depending upon the number and type of applications you use together, the difference can be as much as 50 percent of extra RAM. In any multitasking system, minimizing an application means that it won't be utilized by the user right now. Therefore, the OS automatically makes the application use virtual memory & keeps bare minimum amounts of the code in physical RAM.

Turn your Windows XP PC into Vista

Many of us still think Vista is too Expensive and of course it is. Another bad thing about Vista is the compatibility. So, why don’t just turn our Windows XP into Vista.
I had installed Vista ultimate on my PC a Couple of months ago. I worked fine but I really hated it because:

• I was not able to install my Sound card on it.
• I was not able to Install Nero on it.

Everything else was a charm, especially the Windows Aero and 3D flip ( Vista is all about these two things). Everything else was like XP, and XP is also much faster than Vista. So I got rid of Windows Vista. But I really missed the Aero effect.
After a month I figured how to turn my Windows XP in Windows Vista. It looked so much similar to Vista that my brother got confused so did everybody else who saw it. Here are the screenshots of my Windows XP PC which look like Vista.

Here is how you can also turn XP in Vista:
First you need to patch Uxtheme.dll, because the themes won’t work if you have not patched it. Download this patcher which will do it for you and the Restart your PC.
Next thing you need to do is to find a good theme. The one I used in the above screenshots can be downloaded from here. You can find Vista themes here. When you have downloaded the Desired theme, Unzip it and copy it to C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes.
Get a nice Vista wallpaper over here or you can also search for them in google.
Now download the vista sounds and Unzip/Copy the to C:\WINDOWS\MEDIA folder. Goto Windows Control panel >> Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices >> Sounds and change the sound for respective events.
For the Vista like "Taskbar Screenshot Utility" (I can’t find any other good word for it) download Vista Task Tips and install it. You can resize the screenshot by scrolling the mouse wheel. Now when you hover a open window in Taskbar, it shows you a screenshot of it.
For the Aero Effect I use this. And for 3D flip I use Winplosion.
For Sidebar I use Google sidebar bundled with Google desktop. There are many others and better sidebars for XP than Google sidebar but I like Google’s because it adds functionality to your desktop, and because I use many other services of Google which are integrated with Google Desktop. Other can be downloaded here, here and here
For the start menu I used VistaStart and downloaded some Vista Screensavers from here. I downloaded the Vista cursors and Vista icons.
To make my OS look more like Vista I used the Vista theme for my aVast antivirus software and which can be downloaded here. I also downloaded the Vista theme for Firefox. I changed the color scheme of Office 2007 to black which gives it a Vistaish feel. I also downloaded the Vista Explorer to make my PC more like Vista If you know some any other tweaks, let them come in comments.

Open command prompt from where it is Banned

Open up Command Prompt (Start>Run>Command.com)

Can't use command prompt at your school?

Open up Microsoft word..Type:

Command.com

Then save it as Somthing.bat.

Warning: Make sure you delete the file because if the admin finds out your in big trouble.

–Adding a user to your network–

Type:

Net user Haxxor /ADD

—–
That will add "Haxxor" onto the school user system.
—–
Now you added users lets delete them!

Type: Net user Haxxor /DELETE

Warning: Be carefull it deletes all their files.
—–
"Haxxor" will be deleted from the user system.

—–
Hmmm? It says access denied?

Thats because your not admin!

—-
Now lets make your Admin!

—-
This will make Haxxor an admin. Remember that some schools may not call their admins 'adminstrator' and so you need to find out the name of the local group they belong to.

Type: net localgroup

It will show you what they call admin, say at my school they calll it
adminstrator so then i would

Type: net localgroup administrator Haxxor /ADD

—-

Getting past your web filter.

Easy way: Type whatever you want to go on say i wanted to go on miniclips bug on wire i would go to google and search miniclip bug on wire

then instead of clicking the link i would click "cached".

Hard way: I'm hoping you still have command prompt open.

Type: ping miniclip.com

And then you should get a IP type that out in your web browser, and don't forget to put "http://" before you type the IP.

—–
Sending messages throught your school server

Okay, here's how to send crazy messages to everyone in your school on a computer. In your command prompt, type

Net Send <domain> * "The server is h4x0r3d"

Note: <domain> may not be necessary, depending on how many your school has access too. If it's just one, you can leave it out.

Where <domain> is, replace it with the domain name of your school. For instance, when you log on to the network, you should have a choice of where to log on, either to your school, or to just the local machine. It tends to be called the same as your school, or something like it. So, at my school, I use

Net Send Haxxor School * "The server is h4x0r3d"

The asterisk denotes wildcard sending, or sending to every computer in the domain. You can swap this for people's accounts, for example

NetSend Varndean dan,jimmy,admin "The server is h4x0r3d"

use commas to divide the names and NO SPACES between them.

what say??

Allowing dos and regedit in a restricted Windows

A very simple tactic I found after accidentally locking myself out of dos and regedit is to open notepad and type the following:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesWinOldApp]
"Disabled"=dword:0
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem]
"DisableRegistryTools"=dword:0

Save it as something.reg then run it. Simple.

Genuine windows Activation

I personally dont lie doin this, but one cant deny the possiblities around,
This article i guess solve all the Enigma for the users surfing day and night in search of
keyword "Windows Xp hack" including specialized setups.

this is not recommended and u must use the genuine Softwares
especially the Operating Systems!!

-======================================-
Windows 2003 & XP & LH
Anti Product Activation
-======================================-

The crack will patch some bytes in your
winlogon.exe and totally disable the
Windows Product Activation Check.

Tested with winlogon.exe build:
Windows XP 2600.0 (Retail)
Windows 2K3 3790.0 (Retail)
Windows XP 2600.2180 (SP2 RTM)
Windows XP 2600.1106 (SP1)
Windows 2K3 3790.1218 (8.7.2004)
Windows Longhorn 4008 or 4015(not tested by myself)

This version uses a generic patch engine
which supports all current version of Windows
and hopefully all future ones.

The Options
===========

1. Read all about the options.
2. Don't change anything you without a reason.

* Apply OOBE Fix
This applies the Out Of Box Experience ->OOBE Patch
which removes the 'Activate Windows' link from the
start menu and makes the Activating Windows Dialog
saying 'Already Activated'

Note: This is more a cosmetically fix and really not
needed for the patch to work properly.

* Apply WPA Fix
This removes the WPA-Check in Winlogon.exe.
If you want to get rid of the Windows Activation
this MUST be Enabled !
Disable this if you just want to undo the OOBE-Fix.

Note: However you can use this program also to
decrypt and unprotect other MS-Files
like DPCDLL.dll or LICDLL.DLL. So if you
do so disable this option.

* Remove selfcheck blocks
If you press the 'Apply' Button the self checks are always
disable by 'correcting' the pointer.

This option will additionally overwrite the self check block
calls in the program code with the Value 90 (NOP=No OPeration)
and will improve the readability of disassembly.

Note: This option is absolutely not necessary for the patch to work.

* Remove crypt blocks
This will decrypt the crypt program parts of the input file and
write them back to into the exe and do some other fixes to keep the
File executable. If you want to disassemble the file enable this one.

Note: This option is absolutely not necessary for the patch to work.

* Debug: Save decrypted code to *.bin
Writes each decrypted program parts into a file with the
address as filename looking like this: 2C18D.bin, 3678B.bin…

* Debug: Save decrypted code to exe
Writes each decrypted program parts back into the file.
If the option 'Remove crypt blocks' is not check just the decrypted
RAW-Output is written into the exe. (After you enable this you
have to right click on 'Apply/Browse' and open the file you want
to decrypt)

Note: This option is dangerous!
Without having 'Remove crypt blocks' option enabled this will
make crash the input file crash for sure.
This option is absolutely not necessary for the patch to work.

* Debug: Verbose Output
Output Debug information
This may be helpful to identify some problems.

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I after I have installed a Service pack an the Activation the
Activation Reminder ?counting down the days -is show again.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

You must reapply the patch every time after you installed a servicepack and
everything will be fine

Note: The Patch don?t ?activated? Windows it only removes the check in winlogon.exe
which test if windows is activated or if it?s still in the evaluation period
and force you to logoff if something is wrong.

When you install a servicepack winlogon.exe is normally overwritten by a new
Not patched Version. So you need reapply the patch?
Usually the servicepack reset the trial counter so it will restart at 30 days.

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I can?t start patch because my evaluation period expired and
Now I?m unable to login.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

You can still login in safe mode even if your evaluation period expired.
Press F8 right after the Bios boot screen and select Safe Mode
(Without Network support) menu now windows should boot in safe mode and you can
Login and apply the Anti-WPA-Patch.

Note: Since no Network support is available in safe mode no Internet or Network
Is available so it?s good to have the patch somewhere on the hard disk or on a
floppy disk?
If you select Safe Mode (with Network support) you are unable to login due to
Activation is necessary.

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I want to change my CD-Key – but msoobe.exe also says
'Already Activated and don't show the Activation Dialog
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Enable option 'Apply OOBE Fix' and
Disable option 'Apply &WPA Fix' -to keep the WPA-Patch active-
then click on the 'Restore Backup' Button

PREVIOUS VERSIONS:
Start regedit and go to
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WPAEvents\[OOBETimer]
Edit this and set Last Byte to FF.
Start this -if the Activation are delete- to show the Activation dialog:
%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /A

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Is it possible to integrate WPA_KILL.EXE in the WinXP setup-routine?
I have a WinXP pro setup CD (sp2 integrated).
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Integrating the AntiWPA Patch in the Windows Setup:

1. Extract [WindowsSetupDir]\i386\winlogon.ex_ to a temporary Dir.
(Winrar or winace will do the job – or rename it to winlogon.cab and
double-click on it – to use the build-in WindowsCabExtract)

2. Apply the WPA Crack to the file.
Right click on 'Apply/Browse' and choose the file.
(To unlock all buttons of the WPA-Patch right click on 'Quit')

3. Repack winlogon.exe an put it back in the installation folder
Use Winace (and choose MS-Cab as compression method) and name
the packed cab-file winlogon.ex_.
Or use the makecab.exe(included in Windows XP) start cmd.exe in the dir
winlogon.exe is in and Enter:

makecab winlogon.exe

After that you will get winlogon.ex _ as output.

PREVIOUS VERSIONS:
In previous versions the PE Checksum of the file wasn't updated by the patch.
This caused setup to reject winlogon.exe during installation.
But this has been fixed in this version.

Manually OOBE_Fix for WindowsSetup
———————————-
Since I see people integrating the patched winlogon.exe into windows setup are
perfectionist here's a hint how to may you get rid of the activationlinks in
the startmenu (-untested-):
Ok unpack and edit syssetup.inf

1. search for
[StartMenuCommon]
and delete this to avoid the activate link in START
%oobe_desc% = oobe\msoobe.exe,"%%SYSTEMROOT%%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /A",,0,"@%SystemRoot%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe,-2001","%SystemRoot%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe",2000
(btw you can also delete this unless %windowscatalog% link section if you like)

2. In SystemTools it's the same
[SystemTools]
%oobe_desc% = oobe\msoobe.ex…

Just for better understanding the inf-file format at the end is defined what the variable "oobe_desc" is:
oobe_desc = "Windows aktivieren"
This was were I first stepped when I searched for "Windows aktivieren" in C:\windows
The second was to look for oobe_desc…

No-CDKey-Patch for WindowsSetup
——————————-
- Since I got some positiv feedback about this I decided to publish this.
But so far I'ven't test it myself-

This will make the WindowsSetup to accept any -even a blank- CDKey
Get "http://antiwpa.cjb.net/Other/cracked pidgen for setup.rar"
Pack it pidgen.dll with cab-pack to pidgen.dl_ as decribed above
and put it in the I386 setupdir.
That's it.

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
What changes does this patch to my System and how to undo it?
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

1. It modifies c:\WINDOWS\system32\Winlogon.exe and creates a
backup named Winlogon.bak
UNDO: Rename Winlogon.exe -> Winlogon.OUT
Rename Winlogon.bak -> Winlogon.exe
After Reboot you will be able to delete Winlogon.OUT if you like

2. The RegistryValue
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WPAEvents\[OOBETimer]
is set to a fixed value as it is activated.
UNDO: Edit this with Regedit and set Last Byte to FF.
This will 'DeActivate' Windows

Note: Normally this value is written (not read!) by winlogon.exe on
every start up just as information for MSOOBE.
This value has no effect on the real Activation.

3. The 'Activate Windows' Link from the Startmenu is remove
UNDO: Start\Execute:
rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection RESTORE_OOBE_ACTIVATE 132 syssetup.inf

Other Changes:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup
"SourcePath" and "ServicePackSourcePath" will be temporary delete during the patch
and (if nothing real bad happens) restored if it's finished.

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
How to set another path to Winlogon.exe?
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Right click on the 'Apply/Browse' button.
If the Patch is already and the 'Apply/Browse' button is greyed out
Right click on the 'Quit' button to force unlock all buttons.

Note: You can also use the Windows Anti WPA Patch to de-protect
(Remove SelfCheckBlock SCB) from other protected
Microsoft exe and dll's:
For ex: licdll.dll, DPCDLL.dll or Windows PLUS! Pack Executables
Of course the WPA-Patch is skipped in this case.

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
The Patch doesn't work after I rebooted, the WPA Reminder pops up again.
Also during the Patch the Windows Systemfile Protection Dialogbox didn't
come up.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Maybe the Patch was undone by the Windows File Protection.
To check if the patch is still active start the Windows Anti WPA Patch again and check if it says 'Patch already applied'.

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
How to disable this damn Windows File Protection(WFP)?
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

There is no really official way to disable this

This is an undocumented setting worked for recent windows versions:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
SFCDisable=0xffffff9d

BUT: It was removed in Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 and in Windows XP!
When you restart your computer, the System event log will contain Event ID 64032, "Windows File Protection is not active on this system."

SFCDisable (REG_DWORD)
0 = enabled (default – WinXP Professional)
1 = disabled, prompt at boot to re-enable – Require a kernel debugger to be hooked up or this will be ignored!
2 = disabled at next boot only, no prompt to re-enable – Require a kernel debugger to be hooked up or this will be ignored!
4 = enabled, with popups disabled (default – for all Server Windows)
More about this and how to re-enable the 'SFCDisable=0xffffff9d-setting'
-> http://www.collakesoftware.com/aboutwfp.htm
To make this more flexible here is a search'n'replace patch:
(Rename sfc_os.dll to sfc_os.OUT; copy sfc_os.OUT to sfc_os.dll)
Open sfc_os.dll in a hex editor
Search for : 83 f8 9D 75 08 33 C0 40
Replace with: 83 f8 9D EB 08 33 C0 40

So this is where it comes from:
A1 D8E1C376 MOV EAX, [SFCDisable]
Patch- > 83F8 9D CMP EAX, -63 ; = 0xffffff9d !
Search > 75 08 JNZ SHORT Don't_Set_SFCDisable_=_1
Data > 33C0 XOR EAX, EAX
> 40 INC EAX
A3 D8E1C376 MOV [SFCDisable], EAX
on't_Set_SFCDisable
Btw this fragment is the reason 0xffffff9d don't work anymore – so alternatively Nop Out (=overwrite with 0×90) that bastard

Well I found a real simple way to disable this for sure:
Rename c:\WINDOWS\system32\sfc.dll to sfc-OUT.dll to something else
After Reboot the WFP is disabled.
BUT I advice to rename sfc-OUT.dll back to sfc.dll soon because I notice
that you can't install any new hardware device driver because syssetup.dll
statically imports sfc.dll and fail to load if sfc.dll is not found.

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
The Patcher doesn?t find any offset. / Know problem on Asian systems.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

WPA_KILL.EXE currently don't work with Asian Systems (Taiwan, Japan…) with DBCS (Double Character Set)
enabled. If you have such systems disable DBCS or patch your winlogon.exe on a non DBCS system
apply the patch and copy it back in your system.

As far as I found out the Test Version function does not work properly and you get 'unknown Version'.
A Workaround that might work is to use the offset locator to detect/set the right offset manually.
(Hint: Compare the detected offset with the known-offset-list)
The problem is related to some improper char handling and/or comparing inside FrmMain.Test() i.e FileStream::FixedString()
Everyone how has an Asian System and MSOffice(Note: VBA is always also installed together with MSO) or Visual Basic 6 is welcome to invite me to a remote Session. – so I can examine and fix that problem – Please send me an email…
And of course you?re also welcome to fix it your self:

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
How you access/modify the winlogon.exe file while the winlogon process is running ?
I only saw you are using standart API calls but I must have missed something…
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

How to modify a File (like winlogon.exe) while it is in use:

1.Rename winlogon.exe -> winlogon.bak
That's the most important thing about that. You can't delete or
modify a file that's in use, but you can RENAME it! (under Win9x
this don't work. But there you can rename the dir the file is in…)

2.Copy winlogon.bak -> winlogon.exe

3.Now you can edit winlogon.exe. Of course you can't delete (or
modify) winlogon.bak as long as it is in use.
But you surely want to keep an backup of it, don't you?

Oh I almost forgot to mention an other annoy thing:
>The Windows system File Protection (WFP) 'D:\installs\WinXP_SP2.out'
So the WFP won't file them to restore

Well the WPA-Patch doesn't rename your Windows installation path it deletes temporary the path to this in you registry and restores it after the patch (actually after you clicked on the OK button of the messagebox).
These Registry paths are:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup
"SourcePath"= "D:\installs\WinXP_CD"
"ServicePackSourcePath" ="D:\installs\WinXP_SP2"

———————————————————-
Just a hint to see if the patch worked without to Reboot:

1.Apply the patch
2.Logon as an other user
(But don't log of – choose change/disconnect user)
3.When you login just see if the patch works…
… or if not this damn
'You haven't activated your Windows yet…' message

(4.If you logoff the first user now 'winlogon.bak' is no long in use
and you can delete/modify it)

Ah and to get a better overview about the processes which are running on your machine use this: http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/procexp.shtml
And next time you can't delete a files use 'search handle' and enter the filename then close the handle(=file) or kill the process…

Does the AntiWPA Crack make winlogon.exe unstable?
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Since the WPA 1.6.2 disables all anti crack self checks in winlogon.exe it may execute some msec faster
The patch simply makes winlogon.exe to skip the function which will do the WPA-Check( update of WPA Trialcounter)
and block any login if the result is 'negative'.

From 'outside' this windows is simple not activated but as long your using a valid CDKEY Windows update will work and is not affected by the WPA-Patch
> does the patch make winlogon.exe unstable?
No. If it is applied correctly winlogon.exe will not become unstable/crash.
(The only time winlogon.exe becomes unstable is after appling wpa-kill 1.1 to WinXP SP1 – but this bug was fix in version 1.2…)
Of course with the wrong offset in offset locator you can make winlogon.exe unstable/crash or by killing the patcher during the patch is applied.

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
PREVIOUS VERSIONS:
I got 'ERROR: Unknown Version of winlogon.exe'.
Can you include this version in your WPA-Patcher ?
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Well please try the offset locator button to patch this new Version. Since Version 1.4 I added a heuristic search for offset locator which should find the right offset by default and highlight it.
So -after you read the warning- just double click on the highlight Offset on the List to set this as new patch-Offset.

If this is not a Beta or Release Candidate Version send me your -unpatched- Winlogon.exe by email and add if the default offset (found by the for offset locator) works.

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
PREVIOUS VERSIONS:
The patch don't work – if i click on the 'Activate Windows' link in the
start menu, it says Windows isn't activated and that there are only xx days left.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

This patch didn't stop the trial counter nor will it 'Activate' your Windows.

The WPA-Patch fixes the condition jump which decides whether windows was started in safe mode
and the activation check should be skipped or if it was started in normal mode and it should be done.
So in short it will make winlogon.exe to skip the is-Windows-activated check when you logon.

To see if the patch work wait about one minute after you logon -
if the Activation reminder balloon in the tray bar DON'T pop up – the patch IS working.
Some other things to see that it works
The messagebox that reminders you to active if there are only 5 days left and
The messagebox that says you're not allowed to logon until you active will be away.

So patching msobmain.dll just to make it say it's activated is only additional overheat and
also may cause some problems. Maybe if you want to change your CDKey and you don't reach the CDKEY change dialog because it says already activated…
Ok what I need to do is to include some FAQ-info text in the next version about that issue.
Maybe I will add a "Let's Activate Windows" force true patch if there is such a big need for this
I mean if this will make someone sleeps better at night – is enough for a good reason.

This will allow you to bypass the Microsoft Genuine Validation thingy

this method works better than many others i've tried before. forget the cracks and injectors etc… this is the BEST WAY:

1) start > run > "regedit" (without the quotes of course)

2) go to the key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WPAEvents\OOBETimer

…and doubleclick on it. Then change some of the value data to ANYTHING ELSE…delete some, add some letters, I don't care…just change it!

now close out regedit.

3) go to start > run > "%systemroot%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a" (again, dont type the quotes)

4) the activation screen will come up, click on register over telephone, then click on CHANGE PRODUCT KEY, enter in this key: JG28K-H9Q7X-BH6W4-3PDCQ-6XBFJ.

Now you can dl all the updates without activating, and the Genuine Microsoft Validation thingy won't bug you no more!!

***Notes, this works best after a reformmat***
