Windows has the capability to apply shims to mis-behaving applications . Shims are used to intercept API calls and change it. For example, shims can be used to: change the incoming paramters lie about the return values change it to call something else The Application Compatibility Tookit has quite a few existing shims you can apply to your own mis-behaving application. Here's an example of one that ignores your API call and instead calls a completely different API instead: i need a shim that isn't one of the hundreds of shims Microsoft already wrote. i need a custom shim . In my case i want to intercept calls to: GetSystemMetrics(0x1000) so that it returns 0 . i can't find any information on how to give Windows my own DLL that will have the fix i need. i don't even know if you can create custom shims. Does Windows support custom shims?
