MGadAllah Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 You'll need Resource Hacker to modify these files.So here is a list of various system files in Windows 7 which can be easily hacked using Resource Hacker:Approx. all Windows 7 system icons -> %windir%\System32\imageres.dllLogin Screen Background -> %windir%\System32\imageres.dllLogin Screen image resources -> %windir%\System32\authui.dllStartup Sound -> %windir%\System32\imageres.dllStart ORB images -> %windir%\Explorer.exe -> Bitmap -> 6801 - 6812Windows Version Image in "About Windows" dialog box -> %windir%\Branding\Basebrd\basebrd.dllWindows Version Image in bottom of Login Screen -> %windir%\Branding\Basebrd\basebrd.dllControl Panel Left Sidebar Image -> %windir%\System32\Shell32.dll -> Bitmap -> 632 & 633Getting Started (aka Welcome Center) Images -> %windir%\System32\oobefldr.dllLaptop Battery Meter image resources -> %windir%\System32\batmeter.dllInternet Explorer 8 (IE8) Resources -> %windir%\System32\ieframe.dllWindows Media Player 12 (WMP12) Resources -> %windir%\System32\wmploc.dllAbove mentioned system files/locations are new to Windows 7 and were not present in earlier Windows versions, like XP. If you want to change look of other menus, dialog boxes like RUN, Progress, System Properties, Start menu, Taskbar Properties, etc, you'll have to edit some other system files which you needed to edit in Windows XP But there is a little difference, now those files don't contain the resources but their .MUI files do.For example in Windows XP, RUN dialog box resources were present in "%windir%\System32\Shell32.dll" file but in Windows 7, the resources are present in "%windir%\System32\en-US\Shell32.dll.mui" file.All these .MUI files are present in any of following 2 locations:%windir%\en-US\%windir%\System32\en-US\Source: http://www.askvg.com...kVG+%28AskVG%29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
