This tip was one I had originally posted in the X3dfX forums and has been archived on NuAngel.net for posterity:
Just like the one in Windows XP, you can now enable it for Windows 2000 (SP 2, 3, or 4).

- 1. Log on as Administrator.
- 2. Click Start, and then click Run.
- 3. In the Open box, type the following command, and then click OK, where %SystemRoot% is the drive and folder in which Windows is installed:
regsvr32 %systemroot%\apppatch\slayerui.dll
-( i.e. regsvr32 C:\winnt\apppatch\slayerui.dll )
Now you can re-enable Windows NT, 95, and 98 layer compatibility modes to get your older Windows (perhaps even DOS!) games & applications to work again!
