I have found that windows is virtually limitless in its customizations.....this amazed me when i jumped on the custom trian a few days ago....however...i would like to learn, and discuss these things with other to try and learn more. I have many questions to ask, and would love to give answers to others aswell....hopefully someone will rply back, and we can get this topic going full speed.

Yeah lot of stuff you can do to customize windows. When I had more spare time on my hands, I used to edit shell32.dll and customize stuff like dialog boxes. That was back in win98 days. I had also modified kernel32.dll so that the ctrl+alt+del box would be bigger, requiring less scroling.

Oh, and the illegal operation dialog had "Thank you for choosing Microsoft" on the bottom.

Really, I need to get more into that, like change the windows loading screen and such.

This is a department to be careful with though. Possibility of messing up a few things or two.
