heykool69:
This is great! Gonna give it a shot this weekend.

What a brilliant guide.
Just one question, where do you get the files that have have to be run. I have found some of them but others such as Add_Take_Ownership_to_context.reg are proving elusive??
UPDATE: Found the links to them on the original guide referenced at the top of this thread.

I think adding a note about disabling stickykeys could be good - especially if someone is using the default key map for ipac and similar hardware.

This is important as left shift is one of the player one buttons and if its mashed quickly you'll be seeing that dialog.
Changing the key defaults to only letter and arrow keys is in the end a better solution, though - no chance of weird windows commands happening.

I followed this guide over the weekend, and no problems have popped up. Things are looking great.
Only problem I had was editing imageres.dll in the system32 folder. No matter how many times I "took ownership", I couldn't overwrite it (nor could I delete it and place the edited one in it's place. A Google hit hinted that, since I'm running 64-bit, to edit the one in the SysWOW64 directory instead. Editing that file worked without a problem. The rest of the listed files in system32 were modified without any issue, and I also modified their counterparts in Syswow64, just in case.

I'd love to hear your experiences and opinions on Windows 10 and arcade software. Any issues with any emulators? Do the Taito X games run just as well? Can it be skinned and reshelled like I did with Win7? I have Win10 on an old laptop for testing, but I've barely worked with it.

Did you try moving it to your desktop first and then editing the file, and then moving it back. Copying and or deleting it doesn't work.
I've modded both 32 and 64 bit OS's, no problem. However I have added this note to the tutorial, thanks for the feedback.
