I always create my own based off of the Mondo file, but I would assume you
should be able to use the DialogRef tag to overwrite/alter the elements that
you wish. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

I don't know if there's a better way than this, but you could certainly make
a custom action to do it using WMI. The Win32_Process class lets you see if
