How to run Windows 7 integrated games on Windows 8, 8.1 and 10

1. Download the and extract the following archive:
https://db.tt/VlMF5pRk
2. Extract it and copy the "Microsoft Games" folder to C:\Program Files\. For 64bit users, to C:\Program Files (x86)\
3. Right click and choose "Run as administrator" on the Microsoft Games Patcher v1.2.exe file.
NOTE: UAC and antivirus softwares might flag it as malware, but it is safe, tried myself. Also, it starts to play music, remember to turn off volume.
4. Click the "Patch" button and close the program when it is all finished patching.
5. Locate the Microsoft Games folder and create shortcuts wherever you want for easier access.
NOTE: This pack I made only includes Chess Titans, FreeCell, Hearts, Mahjong, Minesweeper, Solitaire and Spider Solitaire. No multiplayer games or Purble Place included.

Also, this pack is tested and working on Hungarian (HU) and United States English (US) language systems, not sure about other English localizations, I would be glad to get feedback or other language packs from Windows 7 users.
Thanks for the English language files for Tamás Nemes!

How to change authui.dll for custom login screen

1. Go to C:\Windows\System32 folder and make a backup of your old authui.dll with a name like authui_old.dll

2. Take ownership of the file. Tutorial for this step.

4. Locate C:\Windows\System32 in one tab and your new authui.dll in the other tab.

5. Open Task Manager, switch to Processes tab and close explorer.exe.
NOTE: your taskbar and desktop icons will disappear, but don't worry, it is normal.

6. In Total Commander copy the new DLL to System32, hit overwrite.
