I’m imagining the reason icons aren’t loading is because they’re trying to get something like “iconfile.dll,-1”

[@_lun4r_]

strange how the replace tool is more stable on Me than it is on 98 lol

[@pawer_themaw]

yeah because ME wants to be destroyed

[@RustBunny]

Despite ME's issues, it did have some better tools than 98SE and was more stable if set up properly, making it almost like Win98 Third Edition, or at least Win98 Second Edition Second Edition. 98SE2ME also exists as a more thorough way to create a hybrid version of Win98 made using some of ME's features.

[@_lun4r_]

@@RustBunny sounds like Microsoft was incompetent at making Me good, cuz it both was and wasn't good? lol

[@RustBunny]

@@_lun4r_ I don't know if that's the right way to put it. Windows ME (along with Vista and Windows 8 later) certainly had issues, but wasn't a complete trainwreck and most people probably didn't have a lot of major issues. But when it did cause problems, it was really good at that too. The updated features from 9x worked well enough, but the stuff taken from 2000 to try to unify 9x and NT before they were actually ready to do so didn't help. There was little to no reason to switch to it from 98SE or choose it over Win2000 instead.

[@_lun4r_]

@@RustBunny i totally agree it's just that people think it's bad but it actually can run decently for some reason

[@serega_klushin]

@hammerrox: You should check out on Windows 8.1, Windows 10, see how they will work in such a very difficult situation

[@amtwebview]

Windows Vista and later set a lot of registry values as "SYSTEM" or "TrustedInstaller" owned, and place protection on many values.

[@serega_klushin]

@@amtwebview I usually do not delete, but in settings during the registry editor, and remove all users except "SYSTEM", if not, then simply prohibit all full access, and as consider Windows a certain key in the registry can't count, I did like it on Windows, but I think through system recovery can be restored I tried. I don't know how you're like this. To be honest, I would like to see the next video with such an experiment I described above

[@user-no7st2td6t]

Make windows true 64-bit, by replacing all 32 bit files. (Including all DWORDS to QWORDS)

[@devisals]

Ngl dat will be interesting

Or you can just remove SysWOW64 >:)

not related, but why is the the 32 bit system named syswow64 and the 64 bit system named system32? is this just microsoft being microsoft?

Can you do windows 8, 8.1 and 10 next? And then the NTs?

[@ComeonWindows]

I'm doing this!

[@ilikeundertale_5]

i meant like do a operation where you subract 1 or something idk but don't change it whole but still a good vid
(edit:also where can you download the replace tool)

[@windestruct]

It's there: www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Registry-Tweak/Replace-Registry-Values.shtml
Well, the zeros were right, but the ones are like zeros, but the whole thing is invalid.

[@ilikeundertale_5]

@@windestruct thanks :D

[@sh22real]

So it was totally fine with the path "C:/1" before?

[@ArbestRi]

I might do a similar thing but with more OSes (Windows 2000, Vista, 8.1, etc).

[@user-pm7nh9nx5w]

Set all DWORD values to any other value classes

Let's do the same experiment, but on Windows 8.1, Windows 10

[@IgaziArni9136]

Why you expect the windows 10, windows 8?

[@Danland777]

Yt normal idea: try to set the regedit values into null or NaN

[@bsod999_ptbg]

windows 98 with registry windows 95

[@rysiukalbor]

it will probably be fine

[@oxygenelement]

cool idea, although next time you should add some text commentary

But the text commentary is there. Maybe I didn't "say" much.

[@xorxpert]

except this guy is bad… if only he knew he was replacing text and not whole numbers.. 🤦🏽‍♂️ never realized that in the video. if you’re going to tinker with software, or an OS, atleast have knowledge of how it works.

[@windestruct]

​@@xorxpertI'm not going to sit for a few hours manually changing every value to -1, because that would be a waste. Instead, I used this tool. I wanted the same tool to be run on every OS for best effects and a fair comparison. There really is no option to match the whole string in it. Majority of the values are either 0 or 1 as a whole, so that's going to change correctly. The parsing errors makes everything more entertaining as it further breaks Windows. I know the difference between replacing values and replacing text, but there was no option to toggle that.

[@xorxpert]

@@windestruct there was no option because that program was bad, not practical, and don’t know why anyone would use as it’s obvious prone to cause issues if not done correctly. i’m sure a tool exist that works alot better, as it wouldn’t be hard to make.

[@fitmotheyap]

​@@xorxpertin the end this is all for fun, if you know the know how great, but I didn't even realise he's not inputting actual numbers

[@xorxpert]

@@fitmotheyap that’s not fun at all. you’re breaking windows intentionally, similarly how you would just go in and delete system32, you might as well delete all registry files.
if you properly replaced values, you may have more interesting results than intentionally breaking windows beyond repair.

[@JesseWx_]

Whoever thought of this idea is genius haha.
Anyway, have you ever tried deleting hal.dll?
It's located in System32, I believe since this is a critical file, it remains hidden.

[@windestruct]

You're correct. This is one of my most viewed recently published videos and yes, I deleted hal.dll. It causes Windows to not boot. I believe it was done on my first ever video.

[@JesseWx_]

@@windestruct Alrighty. Btw, when the music started playing, I thought it was the Christmas Eve Sarajevo (Trans-Siberian Orchestra)

[@idk13212]

Isnt hal.dll something to do with non acpi complainet systems?

[@susannerudolph8469]

set em to nul

[@xorxpert]

Comment: Replace values with negative.
WinDestruct: Sounds like a good Idea, let’s replace all 0’s with -1
Program: Replaces 100 with 1-1-1
Windows: breaks entirely due to parsing failures with no fall back.
🤦🏽‍♂️
