I have a comment about Turn
off the Flying Paper Animations:
For any VB programmers we know that the animation is a GIF file included inside DLL
library of Windows. To know this, just install animation and graphics when running
Visual Studio setup. Programmers can include the cute and annoying icon into the
program either by a external file reference, included inside a DLL or inside the
.frx file itself.
Now, if let say really want to get rid of the thing, look for the correct DLL in
Windows, normally located under C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System and get a nice DLL
viewer (google it) and after confirming all graphics inside the DLL does not need,
yet DO NOT delete the DLL since it is registered to the registry entry.
Write a DLL using VB, put in static graphic into the DLL, compile it with VB into
DLL file. Unregister the earlier DLL using command (lookup in MSDN), then register
urs. Make sure the filename is identical and the location of the file is same as
before.
I would rather do this registering stuff when running in DOS startup since explorer.exe
depends on this file, maybe?
