THIS REQUIRES EDITING WINDOWS FILES, PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK, I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF YOU ***** UP YOUR WINDOWS INSTALL

No, what you need to do is first go to folder options (Control Panel > Folder Options) and select the "View" tab.
Check off "Show hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)"

Now go to C:\WINDOWS (or wherever you have installed windows to)\System32\dll cache\

Make a new folder called "sysdm" and find the sysdm.cpl file in the "dll cache" folder and CUT it into the folder you just created. Now COPY AND PASTE your custom sysdm.cpl into the "dll cache" folder. Windows will ask you to insert your Windows install disc in a few seconds after copying the file. Simply hit "Cancel" and then another promp will come up asking if you want to keep the unrecognised files. Select yes (or whatever that button is called, i dont remember) and youre good to go after you have copied your custom sysdm.cpl into the system32 folder.

Enjoy

Hello Everyone,

It's necessary the two actions ?

replace the sysdm file using the file supply by Vishal Gupta but also modify my sysdm.cpl file in Resource hacker ?

When use the option for replacing my sysdm file, and open the Control Panel, the explorer display an error then closed.

(sorry for my english)

**Vishal Gupta** · 20-06-2007, 11:57 PM

^^ U can choose any of 2 options. Either replace the attached sysdm.cpl file or manually edit ur existing file.

The easiest method would be to replace ur sysdm.cpl file with my attached one.
