How to make icons move to the right on the desktop? I apologize, but I don't follow you. Could you explain in more detail? Do you mean the toolbars on the right side of the desktop? They are made with PowerPro. It seems to me that the desktop icon grid in your screenshot is shifted a bit to the right. How did you do that? I tried to do something similar through windows personalization, but along with the icons, file names are stretched

My guess is that he disabled align to grid and very carefully moved them to the right

How did you edit the shutdown dialog? And how did you use a different banner from the one in winver? C:\Windows\Branding\Basebrd\basebrd.dll for the bitmap, shutdownux.dll.mui for the dialog itself, it should be in System32/yoursystemlang or C:/Windows/WinSxS. Best to use Everything to find it and open it up in Resource Hacker to find which one is the real one and which one is the stub.

Do you think it can be a registry key for forcing Icons to be displayed all times at right?

File Explorer. TreeView/Nav Bar from XP x64 ported over to W10, thanks to TechSalt + kakureta. I changed icons to most folders. Note: this is not my C: drive in this screenshot, you can't change the folder icons for the Program Files folders afaik. NT Task Manager from NT 4 (I think?) edited slightly to resemble 2K's (W2k's crashes if you try to load it in W10). W7 era Systems page, modified with Win2K logos, text and custom CPU name, which I have run at startup. Legacy Systems Properties complete with DELL info (all of it era correct). Also custom Winver. SimpleClassicThemeTaskbar, which is still my fave third party taskbar. Systray. Icons are as follows, from left to right: TechSalt's modified ReactOS Keyboard Switcher, Weather1, WeatherInfo, MoonPhase, Simplewall, WatchCat, NetAnimate w/kakureta's W2K skin, Volume 2 w/ my Nvidia Classic skin, 3RVX w/ my Classic Windows volume slider skin, XDesk95. I have more system tray programs running, but I hide them. I can still access them by using NexusDock, which has it's own system tray. SCTT has an issue with some programs and won't display their context menus, so having an alternative systray available is a godsend, esp as this one is hidden unless evoked. Desktop toolbars. Top one is bunded with PowerDesk, middle one is TurboLaunch which I use for loading my games, and the bottom toolbar is powered by PowerPro; this one has buttons for hiding the desktop icons, automatically changing the desktop icon's text colour, open/close disc tray, media controls for Winamp, mute system volume, load up PowerPro's Virtual Desktop applet, as well as more. Left is system info (it's powered by PowerPro), middle is NT Clock with client edge added, and the right toolbar is for programs I use from time to time (spell checker, clipboard history, Time/Date from W2K, Calender from TClock). Legacy balloons enabled. Desktop context menu modified to resemble Win2K's. Active Desktop items lead to Desktop Themes, Desktop Icon Settings and Show Web Content loads up Seamonkey (web browser). Display Properties with most patterns restored (but buggy asf) and loads of wallpapers. Desktop Themes is from Windows 98, and slightly modified to notify the system as Windows 2000. ʇǝǝๅ ftw's upgraded version of Veselcraft's logoff program, complete with fadeout effect. I modified the Alt+F4 dialog to resemble Win2k's. I went the extra mile to rename the items back to their original names. Complete with their original descriptions. Nice work! Your classic setup is wonderful. I have one question . Do you res-hacked the gear icons inside Services.msc (filemgmt.dll)? I replaced the bitmaps of aero gear icons with classic gear icons in filemgmt.dll, but they are all too transparent and discolored. I wonder how to solve this...

It could be the type of bitmap file that's causing that to happen. Not saying it will help, but I had more luck with saving a picture as a bitmap with Microsoft Paint.

I use Watchcat, but with that, you need to manually set it each time. There's also D-Color XP.
As for SCTT, right click menus to close programs via the taskbar haven't been implemented by ʇǝǝๅ ftw yet. Instead it shows a debug prompt for testing. You'll need to close a program down by right clicking on it's title bar or killing it via the Task Manager.
