  1. very nice ! ...

    but with the first try, when I click on the recycle bin icon, I had a message from Windows Explorer that the access root doesn't exist or it not in the repertory.

    I tweak XP to hide the recycle bin on my desktop, so I re-edit to show it and now it working !

    afaik this will not work if you tweak XP to hide the recycle bin on your desktop.

    People should really less pathetic and make there own skins

    or gently ask the permission :worthy: to use the skin (and give credit) in their website

    I just wonder what would have been your answer if they done that in the first place !

  3. you already know that you can change the icon of folders with Windows (right click / propertys / customize ...)

    but can't when you try some folders like "My images", "My music", etc

    if you don't have a program to do it, they will say that you have to change the icon in the specific .dll

    now the trick !

    like for example I made a copy of "My images" folder, I change the icon on the copy with the right click ...

    delete the original folder, rename the copy "My images", go in the start menu click on the old icon

    go back in the start menu.. and now I have the new icon over there too !

  4. I found some images in the download folder but they have to be modify

    like this one, cut-it-out from an image showing a t-shirt !

    original size 325*400, size in this post 200*267, I layer this size (transparent background) on a 275*267 black background and save it in BMP format

    I hack :lock: the default Windows XP screensaver and replace the image.

    now instead to have the Windows logo and Home Edition text image, now I have the pirate image moving on my screen ! :P

  5. I installed the patch and now my computer refuses to boot up. It takes me to the logon screen, lets me log on, shows me the wallpaper and then freezes...no desktop icons, no system tray, no start menu...nothing. I dont know how to restore the explorer.exe file since it's not letting me start up at all. Any help is appreciated.

    I had the same issue earlier this year :( (no-English computer "FR") ...I know it's a little late for "dontpanic" but I post the answer anyway, because it could be useful for other users...

    launch the Task Manager, press Ctrl + Alt + Delete simultaneously on your keyboard

    click on "file".. and click "new task"

    now browse to the LS patch and launch it again

    drag the window because it probably hide the pop-up message

    in this pop-up message (..bla bla.. the text in ..bla bla..) just click "yes"

    now you should be back to normal !

  6. How to remove recycle bin from your desktop

    Open Regedit by going to START - RUN and type Regedit and hit enter. Then you should navigate to following entry in registry

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\

    Desktop\NameSpace\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} and delete it. This action should remove recycle bin from your desktop.

    I removed it longtime ago, but I didn't delete the entry, I just rename it (add BAK) :)

    BAK{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}

  8. N1K requested that if I have more images related to pirate to post it here...

    yes I have some (but I will have to search in my computer to find it!) here the first ones

    the graphics is from Anne Stokes, one of my favorite artists

    http://www.annestokes.com/

    sometime I tweak the images (size, text removed, etcs), so if you download my images from here for your personal use, just remember that the copyright of the graphics belong to Anne Stokes

  10. N1K Posted Today, 11:52 AM You should make the desktop sidebar skin icon_cool.gif , btw, can you give me this pic as big as you have sweatingbullets.gif

    O.K I will make one! ;) ... I'm not bad in English, but my native language is French (French Canadian), I just don't understand your request about the image...

    "as big that I have" you want the image from the link in a Wallpaper size ?, you want the original size of the cut-it-out that I did ?, or it's something else you want me to do with it ? .... :huh:
