These are some useful tools for fixing compatibility issues with Windows components meant to run on client editions. With them it is possible to do various things from running the built-in games to restoring the client login screen background! # slc.zip This contains a small shim for running some programs for client SKUs that check the return value of SLGetWindowsInformationDWORD on server SKUs. In simpler terms, this lets you run Snipping Tool (Vista), Games, Sticky Notes, and perhaps more on Windows Server. To use it, put the appropriate slc.dll in the same folder as the program you want to run; do *not* put said program in System32!!! Source website: Archived link: # ApplicationVerifier.*.msi This tool makes it possible to make some programs like LogonUI.exe behave as if executed on a client SKU. To do this, enable HighVersionLie for the relevant .exe, and then set "Product type" to 1. I personally find it quite preferable to hacks like authui.dll swapping and imageres.dll modification.
