    Hello together, I'm currently doing the documentation of a tool I'd like to publish on codeproject and I need a screenshot of the systemmenu (the one appearing after click on the top left icon or rightclick on the titlebar in almost any window) from an _english Windows Vista_ system. Because I'm working on a german system I can't do it myself to get it in english, so would someone please be so kind to press Alt-PrtScr while this menu is shown? Thanks a lot in advance... ralf.

      Just a question - I thought Vista came with all sorts of language packs that made it trivial to switch the system language? Can't you just add another user account and set that one up for English?

      ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire! Real Mentats use only 100% pure, unfooled around with Sapho Juice(tm)! SELECT * FROM User WHERE Clue > 0 0 rows returned Save an Orange - Use the VCF! VCF Blog

        Vista probably won't let you do that. You probably have to reactivate if you do that. It's probably worse than a hardware change in terms of licensing. I'm not even sure the RIAA wouldn't come after him for that. Well wait... he's not a poor old lady so they will leave him alone... Carry on.:-D

          Well I tried, but I'm probably too stupid... I only arranged to change the keyboard layout, pah! Programming in MFC, I saw that a lot of system strings moved to references in language DLL's, but I didn't manage to create a user with a different language. Maybe someone can help me? btw: I only want to have a simple screenshot of this simple system menu for my simple tool I'd like to share the sourcecode. greetings, ralf.

                  I think this is a Vista Ultimate only feature.

                  Kind regards, Pawel Krakowiak Miraculum Software[^]
