Windows Tricks

Does anyone know any weird windows tricks, something like how to change the picture you see when you start windows? Type 'em here!

Go the the Windows directory and change the files logos.sys and logow.sys extention to BMP and you can modify the picture.

If you make good use of (I think) the first 6? palette entries, you can do the animation.

You can "skin" IE's toolbar. Open up RegEdit, and go to this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar

Then add a string value called "BackBitmap" and set its data to the path of a bitmap file. Restart Internet Explorer and see what you get.

Quick question for you zej, how many GOOD, NEW games will EVER come out compatible with anything OTHER than windows?

Quake3, Unreal Tournament, to name just two, are new games that run perfectly well on Linux.
