Unlock Windows 8 build 7955 features using RedPill tool
« on: April 28, 2011, 05:32:40 AM »

Windows 8 build 7955 has been leaked and folks at MDL forums are unlocking the new features in this build. A MDL forum user has posted a new hack which allows you to unlock couple of features in Build 7955 which includes the pattern login and the Metro UI.

Here are the complete set of features which can be unlocked using RedPill Tool
 
 ■ Metro Login

 ■ New Task Manager

 ■ Immersive Browser

 ■ Pattern Login
 
To unlock the features, the following steps has to be followed-
 
 1. Run the InstallTakeOwnership registry file. It would add Take Ownership button on the right click.

 2. Take Ownership of system32\slc.dll and system32\systemcpl.dll and rename them to something else

 3. Now simply copy the three dll files from the zip file to system32 folder.
 
You can download the file from here




Note: Modifying System files is a risky task and should only be performed on test machine. We don’t take any responsibility for the subsequences.

The page with the RedPill.zip file doesn't have a link to download the file.
