^^ Have you disabled WFP service using WFP Patcher?

^^ Thats strange. It seems your system is using different values for those labels which I have set to show RAM and processor strings. Sorry to say but nothing can be done.

Hi..VG
It's almost done. But there is one problem. after applying all the changes, in folder options > view > hidden files and folders, i cant open hidden files, it automatically resets to 'do not show hidden files' what should be done with it.
