So it looks like MS went and encrypted the UIFiles. That means no editing the twinui.dll, explorerframe.dll, authui.dll, and others at all.
I tried injecting an unencrypted UIFile into a dll and it crashed windows.
Im sure HEX editing might still be possible, but it looks like MS really doesn't want anyone messing with their new baby, METRO.
They took away the start button/menu, they plan on removing aero, media player is up in the air, the logon is now controlled by METRO.
So for now, it looks like its not possible. Im sure someone will break the encryption and release patches, but till that day comes, don't expect any major third party UI customization apps. MS blocked it all.
I think im about to hang my hat and call it quits on writing apps after almost 15 years of doing this.
