re: Question about 'Turn off the Flying Paper Animations' Thursday, May 9, 2002 at 3:17 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Tx3rror (2 messages posted) I, too, have been tinkering with shell32.dll. It would be a very simple process of replacing the the AVI files with a static image, or even your own creation. The problem is replacing the current version of shell32.dll, which is in use from the moment Windows starts. Here are some Ideas: If you have winXP on a FAT partition, you MIGHT be able to use DOS to copy the new file over. If windows is on an NTFS partition, you would need to boot to the recovery console to access the file outside of the operating system. Again, I have tested neither of these methods. If anyone succeeds, please let me know. -Tx3rror tx3rror@hotmail.com On Tuesday, March 12, 2002 at 12:20 pm, PReDiToR wrote: >I have a question about Turn >off the Flying Paper Animations: I was just using a resource >hacker to play with "SHELL32.DLL" and discovered that the nasssty animations >are stored in there.
