Enable DreamScene in Vista Home Premium
For those of you who have Vista Home Premium and are jealous of those folks that have Vista Ultimate because of among other things the whole DreamScene spectacle, never fear because enterprising "hackers" are here.

While browsing the Usenet via Google groups I came across a post by someone with a link to a ZIP file containing some DLLs, a registry import and quite detailed instructions. Figuring it's worth giving a shot I tried it on my Vista Home Premium install and sure enough it works!
Now this doesn't allow you to subsequently install Deskscapes as you can on Ultimate but you can use any WMV and/or MPEG video file and set it as your background. Some scouring on the internet will land you a few samples and for those videographers it's a great opportunity to showcase your handy work.
So without further ado here's the link to the file.
DISCLAIMER: Read the instructions carefully - do not attempt this unless you are comfortable making changes to system files and the registry.

Do you have any more links? It’s no longer available. At least a pointer to where you got it; or email it to me. Thanks for any help. Phil
