This build appears to have a slightly broken Windows Aero theme, with only the top portion of the window frame using the blur effect, leaving the side borders transparent. | This build appears to have a slightly broken Windows Aero theme, with only the top portion of the window frame using the blur effect, leaving the side borders transparent. | ||
==Findings, fixes, enhancements== | |||
===PDF Reader=== | |||
While there is a very early version of the built-in PDF Reader included, it is disabled by default. It can be enabled using the following registry script: | |||
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 | |||
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Paint\Capabilities] | |||
"CLSID"="{D3E34B21-9D75-101A-8C3D-00AA001A1652}" | |||
and then running <code>C:\Windows\System32\glcnd.exe</code> with any PDF file as an argument (or without any argument to open a blank page). According to the article about the build on The Collection Book you should disable Aero to get this to work, but we found this step to not be required. | |||
===Modern Windows Task Manager=== | |||
A preliminary version of the Modern Windows Task Manager is included as well. To enable it, run the following registry script: | |||
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 | |||
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TaskUI] | |||
"TaskUIEnabled"=dword:00000001 | |||
and then open <code>C:\Windows\System32\TaskUI.exe</code>. | |||
===Ribbon UI=== | |||
A Ribbon version of Windows Explorer is included as well. To enable it, use the following registry script: | |||
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 | |||
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{4F12FF5D-D319-4A79-8380-9CC80384DC08}] | |||
"AppID"="{9198DA45-C7D5-4EFF-A726-78FC547DFF53}" | |||
===Webcam Capture Application=== | |||
An early version of the webcam capture application is included as well. To enable it, run the following registry script: | |||
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 | |||
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\GRE_Initialize] | |||
"RemoteFontBootCacheFlags"=dword:0000100f | |||
and then run <code>C:\Windows\System32\Webcam.exe</code>. | |||
