Skinning School Computers

i hope this can be done (=

August 11, 2006 9:39 PM from

At our school we have a novell netware system installed, therefore we aren't admins (obviously).
I have customized many things in our school computers (i.e firefox and some icons).
But the real question for me is: Is there any way to patch the uxtheme.dll or install a application that can run skins and icons on the computers. i guess, because we aren't admins it would be extremely difficult to patch anything at all. but i hope there is some way...
(i tried uxtheme.ddl multipatcher and some other third party apps... but no luck)
thanks
PS: it will be highly appreciated if any replies are attempted (=

I presume that the computers arent running DeepFreeze or some other 'tamper-prevention' system?

Have you tried the WindowBlinds trial on them?

Here's a thought...
Ask the school network admins (or teacher) if you are ALLOWED to do this. If they say no, then respect those rules and leave the customization to your own equipmnent.

Under no circumstances patch or attempt to patch any system dll of any kind on a school computer.

It would be highly irresponsible for anyone to assist or attempt to assist someone in so doing...
