Then it would tell him that it can't be renamed, wouldn't it ? Anyway, that's weird, cause it doesn't happen with me. But then again, we are dealing with a m$ product He could try this : - open notepad - copy this code then save as backup.cmd : takeown.exe /f %WINDIR%\nl-NL\systemcpl.dll.mui icacls.exe %WINDIR%\nl-NL\systemcpl.dll.mui /grant administrator:f copy %WINDIR%\nl-NL\systemcpl.dll.mui %WINDIR%\systemcpl_backup.dll.mui - Rightclick backup.cmd and run as administrator. Remember this ? I doubt it'll work here, cause he is able to take ownership and replace it, but trying won't hurt...
yea i do but its this Code: - open notepad - copy this code then save as backup.cmd : takeown.exe /f %WINDIR%\system32\nl-NL\systemcpl.dll.mui icacls.exe %WINDIR%\system32\nl-NL\systemcpl.dll.mui /grant administrator:f copy %WINDIR%\system32\nl-NL\systemcpl.dll.mui %WINDIR%\system32\systemcpl_backup.dll.mui - Rightclick backup.cmd and run as administrator. everytime i try replacing files explorer always locks it then i have to kill explorer with task manager then use unstoppable copy then replace it lol ill write a file replacer that forces files to be replaced.
replacing the file is not a problem, i can do that just fine, but after rebooting or loging on and off, it still shows that logo. When i go looking at the file, the modded version is still at place. summary : uac off viruscanner off x64 system modded version at place in system32/nl-nl folder clean install (just restored a dump to get back to a clean system) result : logo still there i am confused why it works on your system and not on mine, seems that we have the same configuration, althought mine is a real nl version, not translated with language pack, maybe the problem is located there (you sugested switching languages, wich i cant obviously do) my gues : on the real nl version of seven it must be another dll or mui file then the ones ive been modding ..
ill get you the file from removewat and an installer for it but it wont install the actuall stuff that will disable activation it will just remove the activation section completely if you want it
im not interested in 'deactivating' my system, just want to find the REAL dll which displays the logo on my systempage and replace or remove that logo completly. the further you look, the more crazy this gets, that logo is even present in the file slui.exe.mui in the system32/nl-nl folder. Seems that it is everywhere, probably to drive guys like me crazy lol
Dammit, bro, why didn't u say it's a real nl-version. The whole issue with a language-pack is that it replaces the standard english files in system32 root folder. Off course with a real nl version that doesn't happen. Anyway, I'm glad PayMyRent can give u another solution, cause I don't have the real nl version, and can't look for the location of your genuine-logo. EDIT : but then again, it should be the systemcpl.dll file in system32. weird...
Me too. Still figuring out why it isn't situated in %windir%\system32\systemcpl.dll in your case But hell, you've got it now...
in the uifile of an unmodified systemcpl.dll i have completly deleted line 277 and line 279 277 : <element id="atom(LicenseLogo)" layoutpos="top" contentalign="topcenter" padding ......... etc 279 : <Button class="cp_content_link" id="atom(LearnMoreOnline)" layoutpos="none" active="mouse|keyboard" content ........... etc when you do that, the logo and the link are gone. if you just want the logo gone but want to keep the link you remove line 277 only (these line numbers apply to an unmodified version of the ui file of systemcpl.dll, not the ones that are in the pack ive provided, these are already modified ..) you can use my solution in your stuff, no problem at all with that .. sharing knowledge is what has brought the society to the level we are experiencing right now .. (hmz wat een fylosofische zin)
