This release contains 32-bit software only.

Includes:

  • Startup animation
  • New startup sound (it’s awesome)
  • New login screen
  • New spinny wheel thing

Note: There is only one imageres.dll file because it works on both SP1 and SP2 and probably even SP0 considering it’s version number. Authui, however, not. There are 2 authui files included. For SP1 and SP2.

Installation:

If you don’t have take ownership option in context menu, follow this guide. After that:

  • Take ownership of imageres.dll and authui.dll in C:\windows\system32.
  • Rename both files to something like imageres1.dll and authui1,dll
  • Copy the new files from this folder to system32 and Reboot.

These files were tested on 32-bit editions of vista SP1 and SP2.
