Question about 'Turn off the Flying Paper Animations'

The 'flying paper' animation can be disabled by editing
SHELL32.DLL Copy SHELL32.DLL from windows\system32 to some temporary
place on your hard drive. Use a program such as
RESHACKER and open the copy of SHELL32.DLL and
search for .AVI and delete that resource. Save
your modified SHELL32.DLL Now copy it back to the
windows\system32
OK, there is another flying papers animation in my
WinXP Pro that appears when I load hardware drivers.
Can someone tell me where that AVI is located ? I've
not found it yet.

What's the point of this exercise?

If you do a system file check or cold boot, your modified SHELL32.DLL file will be
replaced with the original. Then you will have accomplished nothing.

You wrote back to me instead of replying here as you should have:
"Firstly, someone asked and I knew the answer and wanted to help. Second, I hate
those cute but time
wasting 'cartoons'. And... it's just fun to hack into Beely-Gates property. For example,
I have a stripped
down WinXP PRO. It's about 125MB if I make a compressed GHOST image of the drive.
I can expand the image onto the HDD of a totally different computer and XP will run
(of course it goes thru the PnP evolution). But it is a WinXP PRO customized to my
wants and needs that I don't have to install, just load the drive from the GHOST
image. Now, Beely-Bob wouldn't like that, would he. So, what's the point. Like climbing
a mountain. Because it is there and I can."
Then its like asking someone else how to solve a puzzle. If you don't do it yourself,
what's the point? Your analogy is nonsense.
