Reviews for "Windows XP Start Hack"
jpoke89 responds:
Yes, there are, if you want to check it out create a restore point or use a virtual machine and edit the other lines in that file.
Hmmm.
Too risky so ill do a 5
jpoke89 responds:
Hm, okay... The voting system is not based on risk...
wtf
why the helll did you post this into newgrounds?
its more of a youtube vid
jpoke89 responds:
Eh, doesn't matter really, does it?
I like it but it did not work for me...
I am giving this a 10 because I thought it was an awesome tweak...
Speaking of tweak, I can't get it to work for me because I have a design tweak on my Start Menu already. It must be overriding the GUI shell somehow. I bet if I change the Start Menu back to the Classic look, I will find my change was implemented, but oh well...
jpoke89 responds:
Yes, I found that if you use something like Window Blinds, the Window Blind theme places an image as the Start menu, not text. This only works if you are using a MS theme, or one that happens to read from that resource.
impressed but not much
all u did was somehting in steve sinchaks book, it is pretty cool but pointless, u shouldve shown somehting cool, also wats witht he low resolution most people that r into this stuff have a cool layout and high resolution
but besides that it is pretty cool
jpoke89 responds:
I'm not sure what book you are talking about. At the time I thought it was pretty cool, because I was relatively new at tinkering with my computer. I also had to lower the quality of the video so Newgrounds would take the flash file (as you can see at the load screen, it's a large file with the low quality, imagine if it was high quality/high res!) and I reduced the screen resolution to 800x600 so it can easily fit in your browser window and still be readable. My resolution is usually a wide screen resolution, because I have a laptop, and the wide screen would throw most people, especially with factory desktop boxes through a loop, and wouldn't be able to see the whole thing. I'm a web designer, so I know how to edit media so it works for the most people viewing the content. This video works on Windows 95 and above using Microsoft Internet Explorer v. 5.0 and above or Firefox 1.5 and above or Opera 7 or higher, MacOS 7.0and above with at least Netscape 5 or higher or Safari current build, and Linux Kernel 2.2.26 and above with Konqueror or Firefox 1.5 or above or Opera 7 or above. Hail the geekeyness! :)
