Case anyone is interested. The cab below contains cpr files that disable the arrow animation loop. It has solved issues that I have had with the lockscreen in the past. It also saves some of memory.

The other cab seems to have worked to disable the #777 popup message.
It requires sdkcerts. Remnet.exe is responsible for the popup. The cab installs an empty exe named remnot into \windows and associated reg entry so that when remnet is called for nothing happens. It has worked for me so far.

Edit: I have not tried this, but if you go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSREMNET and delete the string Remnet.exe it may get rid of the message as well (or just delete the key altogether)
