I tried to open it in resource hacker and it doesn't open. Why the exe you send be doesn't work on win10? it says the app can't run on my pc and i need to check with the publisher? It works on my vm with win 3.1 but does no work here. Of course WineVDM can't be integrated into Windows as well as my NTVDM but it has less bugs (and won't mess up Windows). I can't give you my NTVDM (not NTVMD) because it is so buggy and you should try WineVDM which is what my NTVDM based on. So, it is not a bug or anything, it will just sign you out. If you end your session, it will exit Windows without shutting down your computer, you will be in DOS prompt.
The end session thing is because 30 years ago, Windows wasn't yet a fully qualified OS, it is more of a software on top of MS-DOS. If you seriously want to edit the content of a 16 Bit NE, use a disassembler to disassemble it and do your modification (resource editors won't change the functionalities of compiled binaries).
BTW, if you want to edit the resources within 16 Bit Windows apps, you should try Resource Workshop (it can't handle pre-mswin3.0 16 Bit apps).
It has an icon, I am running it on Windows 10 64 Bit, which isn't supposed to run 16 Bit apps at all and because my NTVDM is so buggy it fails to get the icon to display. I don't think you can do anything to it as you probably haven't even used 16 Bit apps before. Here is the file anyway: !gIFA3aBT!wf2DeMNMcCVzy圜NvcEysODQsB8k77QjDipbTq2CIMY.
Resource Hacker? No, it is for modifying the resources within a 32 or 64 Bit PE (portable executable), it can not modify a 16 Bit NE. : Program Manager running on Windows 10 Home 1809 (64 Bit) : Program Manager running on Windows 8 Consumer Preview (32 Bit) To set this as your default shell, open Registry Editor, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon and change the value of "Shell" from Explorer.exe to Progman.exe Note: Backup your registry before you start editing! For 64 Bit edition of Windows, %ProgramFiles% in Program Manager means %SystemDrive%\Program Files (x86) instead of %SystemDrive%\Program Files.Ħ. If you tries to put any apps the your System32 folder, place it in the SysWOW64 as well, so it will show up.ĥ. For 64 Bit edition of Windows, when ever you add a program, the best way is to use a batch file, so it makes sure that your program works. It is possible to add Microsoft Store Apps to Program Manager, but very hard (if you'd like to know, reply below).Ĥ. ico file then tick "Run Minimized" so the command window doesn't pop up.ģ. After that to get the icon back, use Resource Hacker or any other tools to extract the icon and put it in the same folder as your batch file. To solve this problem, make a batch file like offĪnd add the batch file to your program group. This app sadly has limitations on the compatibility with 64 Bit apps and icons of 64 Bit apps won't show. This apps will display icons of 16 Bit apps which is better than Windows Explorer.Ģ. Launch %SystemRoot%\System32\progman.exeġ.
