Skinning 'Shut Down Windows' dialogue box
Need help
Friday, June 17, 2005 by Marie_McLaurin | Discussion: Windows XP
I have WindowBlinds 4.5 running on a computer with Windows XP Pro. For some reason, Window Blinds will not skin the Shut Down Windows dialogue box. It's the standard Windows version where you choose from a drop-down box whether to either shut down, restart or standby or logoff or whatever. Is there a quick registry fix that will get this box skinned? I've tried everything and it's driving me bananas............if anyone can help I would be most grateful.
Thanks,
Marie

i had a theme installed that skinned the shutdown dialogue as well, but recently it stopped working all of a sudden. i suspect that activating the power options in windows (thus adding the "stand by" option to the other three shutdown options) caused this. can anyone confirm this? i couldn't check since there obviously is no way in windows to make the "stand by" option go away again.

As f0r3 said, if your PC is part of a domain, or if you use the classic Windows logon, Windows does not show the fancy shutdown dialog. If Windows doesn't show it, WindowBlinds can't skin it.
