    Oh! Sounds like my new code that checks for the locale is making some problems! I have reverted to verison 1.5 in the meantime, that one works to remove the watermark for any en-US.

    I will publish today an update to add compatiblity for Media Center, stay tuned.

    Updated to version 1.7: Now supports Media Center, + better detection of locale!

    It should literally work for any version. If there is any problem let me know following info: Build number, language of OS, user locale (= e.g. de-DE), whether the watermark or the terminal server patch does not work

    Remember for concurrent logon sessions you need different users, my patch only enables you that, you will have to ask Microsoft if you want multiple sessions with the _same user_ (which would not make sense to me though, most programs will f**k up due to the way session isolation works :cool:).

    Sorry for the delay, was quite busy with my real life job :) I have also uploaded the current source. @anyone feel free to download the exe and re-upload somewhere else, for the case some AV systems/proxies are blocking my website.

    @Peter Kleissner
    can you pls post hashes for .exe?
    if i understand win8 patcher can be installed without official product key or has to be used together and makes it working without any restriction..
    Thanks

    Peter Cleissner :
    @x Finder: Are you modifying shell32.dll or shell32.dll.mui? Because my patch just modifies the mui files (which do not have a digital signature).
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Peter i reffer about the shell32.dll not the mui one [perchaps i need start a new thread about]

    i know about your patch and me as also all others thank you for your work.
    so my question its out of the subject, so i apologise.

    though as i am not expert to digital signature or any other kind of subject that affect to shell32.dll , i just ask you if you have any idea or information how to bypass the problem.

    modifying shell32.dll [or explorer.exe] will lead to recovery function when restart.

    any solution ?

    thanks in advance.

    @x Finder:
    Well, my patcher (you can take a look at its source!, or actually at the first post, it says what it's changing) is only modifying the .mui files for the watermark.

    I would not recommend you to modify shell32.dll or explorer.exe manually (they are untouched by my patcher). It is a classifc for malware to patch explorer.exe ;) and you will have side effects.

    @x Finder you could use a loader that works, but using the Windows 8 Patcher is more safe.
