nice hack and all

But Ijesuschrist is right... You do one thing wrong and your experience on windows is screwed and then its off to crashing windows you go.. No thx... I still gave you a passing score though cause its cool...

Lol, thanks, thats your prerogative, and I can see why you wouldn't want to do it, because you can screw up explorer if you don't know what your doing. I totally understand! Thanks for the review!

hmm

Interesting I guess, I hope you don't get in trouble for this, cause Windows could do something about it... really. But cool, I can see you can change any of those messages windows sets up, which is cool too, I doubt I'll do it though, cause if you mess something up in explorer, could pretty much kill your computer experience.


jpoke89 responds:

You can't get in trouble for it, its just changing a word! Windows may not like it and attempt to revert it, but that depends on your settings, and the type of virus protection you have... Thanks for the review!
