Hey Vishal, Welcome to WinCert. First of all I would like to thank you for your work. I have been to your page a number of times. I just got in to XP mods and just about used all of your tutorials. I did see some pics above that I don't recall seeing. But lately, I have been learning, infs to make addons, so I kinda of slipped away from ResHack.

^^ So nice of you. Thanks buddy.

Vishal what do I need to change in the Shell32.dll to have the copy dialog looking like the one you have in the first post. Really like the progress bar on the left hand side.

[Vishal Gupta]

You just need to re-arrange the controls in the dialog box. Simply drag-n-drop the progress bar to left-top side and then resize it. Its a very old screenshot so I don't have the actual code. Its very simple. Just play with the controls and move them anywhere you want.

Thanks for replying so quick. Now to muck up my shell32.dll

Hey Vishal, great guide!

Do you have any idea how I can change the command executed when you click "shut down" or "log off" in the start menu?

Reason I am asking is this: http://nookian.deviantart.com/art/shutoff-...ogoff-102532512

I want to hack the menu in 4 ways:

- remove "Logoff"

- rename Shutdown to "Logoff / Shutdown"

- change the command to shutoff.exe (the app from the link)

- add a button to change useraccount (if multiple accounts exist)
