i was wondering, which file is the one that (you guessed it.) handles all of the crap on the task bar in win98 se? im trying to make an updated port of the taskbar from chicago build 58s, and i tryed swaping explorer.exe w/cabinet.exe, but literally nothing happens...any ideas?
You could try the system.ini method, will update you on how to do it when I get home in about 4 hours. But it involves modifying system files, and if done wrong it can frightfully can tell you that you need to reinstall windows due to errors, however you can edit the files in DOS which should save you if it should fail.
It's about as scary as modifying the registry which is also stressed as dangerous but really isn't unless you're lingering over the delete key having selected the whole HKLM tree
thanks guys, i got it going, but i opted for a safer of replacing the explorer from 95 with 98, once i feel a little braver, i'll swap out the 98 explorer with the one from chicago 58s
