Okay. I assumed a relatively simple way had been found since a thread from a few days ago asking about this had been marked as solved and went on for 9 pages. Turns out the thread had turned into a bunch of new members arguing amongst themselves and apparently it had been marked as solved to either keep attention away from it or because a mod realized it can't easily be done. I found

Trust me, after reading through 9 pages on nonsense, I've learned that it could be done in XP, but not 7 unless you have a degree in computer programming and know where every single file is stored in Windows.
