Hi, To be able to quickly mess up with system files (rename, delete etc) How can I run explorer with Trusted Installer Privileges ? I tried NSudu and Powerun but that doesn't seem to work, any other ideas ? Thank you.
It's for customization, Explorerframe, shell32, shellstyle, imageres and 1000 other such files that need need fully replaced or partially patched with resources. It's a pain in ass to do it one by one taking ownership.
NO dude NO you are moving in the wrong place is not the correct way and is also difficult to explain involves C: \ Windows \ System32 and also within the registry do not try to continue because you will totally damage your system; change your tactic search via google something as modifying icons etc on Windows 10 since all versions of Windows 10 operate in a very different way than Windows 7 for example ... look here: https://www.askvg.com/guide-how-to-change-default-folder-icons-in-windows/

hy bro do you know Blacknotepad is still better than Notepad3 in my humble opinion, this program It was written in C#
Thank you for the reference and script addodi but it didn't work for me. Whenever I clicked any links, explorer launched a new window in a separate process under my username. I've reported this in the thread. Also tried minipath, it does the same thing as explorer launched with NSudo, gives error. If you have any other ideas, I want to try out. In any case, thanks for the help
Thank you for the input but it didn't work. It will only work under WinPE that's not what I'm looking for, thanks anyways.
I use resource hacker to inject the code and/or replace the resource/icons in the system files and then replace the original files with my modified ones. Been doing this ever since I started using Computers in 2012. But I think you've brought up a very important issue regarding permissions that I neglected up until now. To be truthful, apart from using the permissions GUI panel, I have no knowledge of icalcs or calcs or takedown etc but inclined to learn. This is going to pay off big time. but I need help. I think I should ask the willing members of the community. Edit: Okay the thread is up https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/how-to-copy-and-restore-permissions.80596/
Why starting a new thread for just a follow up question, which probably is answered in the posts/links from answers in this thread?
You can rename system files but won't be able to rename them if they are "in use" by the system anyway, you'd have to do it offline. I wouldn't mess modifying system files hash, is inviting troubles imho This doesn't really need a new thread...icacls backup/restore is simple and well documented Code: icacls c:\your\path /save "perms.txt" /t /c icacls c:\ /restore "perms.txt" /t /c
This is a wider subject in my opinion, not just limited to customisation and one which I could really use. Hence a new thread.
First allow me extend my gratitude for helping me out here Thomas. Highly appreciated. I've read about icalcs and takeown on Interwebs. Takeown is pretty strightforward. icalcs will take some time but I will get there. First I need to full understand how to backup the permissions before going on a trial and error spree
