121. Changing the Version Displayed on the Desktop
If you display the version number of Windows98 on the desktop, you usually get something like Windows 98 4.10.1998 or whatever the release date was in the lower right-hand corner of the desktop.
You can change that to any other 20 characters (11 for "Windows 98 " and 9 for "4.10.1998") "Windows98 " is in the C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM\\KRNL386.EXE file.
"4.10.98" is in the C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM\\USER.EXE file.
1. Make copies of both files - KRNL386.EXE.ORG and USER.EXE.ORG - this is to have a backup just in case
2. Copy C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM\\KRNL386.EXE to KRNL3861.EXE
3. Copy C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM\\USER.EXE to USER1.EXE
4. Use a hex editor (I like Ultra-Edit) to edit both files
5. For KRNL386.EXE search for the first instance of "Windows 98 ". It should be just before Debug Windows 98
6. Change this to whatever 11 characters you want
7. For USER.EXE search for the first instance of the version number (4.10.1998 or whatever yours displays). It should be just before Monitor%d
8. Change this to whatever 9 characters you want
9. Boot to DOS.
10. Copy USER1.EXE to USER.EXE
11. Copy KRNL3861.EXE to KRNL386.EXE
12. Restart the computer
Note: While I haven't had any problems with this for the past several days, I take no responsibility ifthis does have some issue at some future date
