TUTORIAL: All About Resource Hacker! A Brief Tutorial

[Vishal Gupta]

Obviously u hv to restart the system to take affect

 

[Tech Geek]

ok
Can you upload some vista icons?
__________
Buddy i replaced the folder icns but no effect.
I saved them.
Restarted.
Still no effect.
What shud i do?

 

[Vishal Gupta]

Whenever u replace icons in Shell32.dll file, windows doesnt automatically show them, it happens bcoz of the Icon Cache which windows use to show all icons in computer!

So u hv to reset the icon cache to make them working

U can use TweakUI or Tuneup Utilities, both hv an option to do this!

 

[Tech Geek]

Can you post the code for the last run you made?
which language is that code in?
Even how to add bitmaps.
__________
I didn't see any option to reset the icon cache.

 

[Vishal Gupta]

1.) Download TweakUI from here
When u'll open it, u'll see an option Repair at bottom of the left side pane. And when u'll select it, u'll get the option to "Repair icons" in right-side pane!

U can also do it manually by deleting "iconcache.db" file (it'll be a HIDDEN file) in following directory:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data

Here Replace C: with ur system drive and "Administrator" with ur username.

2.) To know how to add BITMAPs, pls read my posts on the first page!

[Tech Geek]

I'm not sure but I think its Delphi

If you are not sure how did you get all those codes????

BTW
I edited the run. did everything you told. i am able to see the same old run.??

 

[Vishal Gupta]

lol, I don't get those codes, I simply edit the existing codes
Do some R&D with existing codes and u'll also get used to with it

 

[Tech Geek]

What about the run problem??

 

[Vishal Gupta]

WFP (Windows File Protection) problem!
Disable it using WFP Patcher or just use replacer and replace the "Shell32.dll" file in following folders:

%windir%\System32\
%windir%\System32\DLLcache

 

[Tech Geek]

In fact if u open any file in Resource Editor, Resource Tuner or even in VS.NET, u'll get the same code

%windir%\System32\DLLcache

With what should i replace??

 

[Vishal Gupta]

Whenever we edit any file, windows overwrite it using a copy of this file in "DLLcache" folder.
Thats why I suggested u to overwrite both the current file and its copy in "DLLcache" folder with ur customized file
