1 24 default.manifest

I've been using the above in my rsc file to get a windows xp feel, as advised in this forum a year or so ago.

I can't discover what the numbers mean, and a limited range of trials suggest that obvious variations (0 or 2 for the 1, 23 or 25 instead of 24) in the parameters are not permissible combinations.

Is there anyone out there with the answer?

You cannot vary these values.

The 1 is the resource identifier and the manifest must be the first resource (this is a Microsoft requirement).

The 24 is the value of RT_MANIFEST, a Microsoft resource type.

ClearWin+ (or is it SLINK, I do not remember) will provide a default manifest if necessary.

Thanks Paul. I couldn't find the info anywhere. Reading about manifest(s) on MSDN is impossible.
