I'm using Windows 8.1, and I still haven't been able to modify shell32.dll (using Resource Hacker). Every time I do, it results in a BSOD. I can modify shell32.dll.mui just fine, but shell32.dll will break when I try to mod it. Also, modding authui.dll will break activation now. This kind of stuff didn't happen in previous versions of Windows, so what's the deal with Windows 8.1? I read somewhere that Windows now checks certain files for digital signatures, and that it won't use certain files that don't have a Microsoft signature on it. Is this true? And if so, is there any way around this? Maybe there's a way to get Windows to stop checking for signatures? Or is something else causing this? Any information on this would be useful. Thanks in advance.
