Does it work on modern systems? According to the site, it started having issues with Vista and onwards. Not sure if it's totally incompatible mind you. |

Adding variable __COMPAT_LAYER with value DisableThemes as system variables shows XP-style dialog.
However: - Works only with 32-bit programs.
- Shows modern title bar.
- Some programs refuse to show dialog. (AFAIK, Notepad++ refused it)

Nice find, really nice find. The default theme overridding the classic theme in the title bar is a shame though. We're on the right track, at least we know it's possible to call change the dialog types now. |

Found a similar program to FileEX; XFilesDialog. This one seems to replace the older Windows 95 era with a similar custom one that has more features. Also works with x64 Windows. Not sure if it works with all programs though or just ones tha have that dialog as default. Program is shareware. www.xdesksoftware.com/xfilesdialog.htmlEDIT: I tried to register the program, but came across a roadblock - seems the third party store that sells the programs has delisted it. So that's a bust. |

Question - would Windhawk be able to do this?

Question - would Windhawk be able to do this? Probably, yes. No one has gotten around to doing it, though. You could probably also do the opposite for modern Windows, to improve the user experience there. |
