Replacer

^^ Open %windir%\System32\Shell32.dll file in resource hacker, goto:

Dialog -> 1003 -> 1033

and now u can change/add/remove/move the components in the dialog box. After it compile the script and save the file.

PS: I don't hv XP installed on my computer, using Vista now. So I can't post the exact code for the dialog box.

Hi,

Vishal I'm trying to mod the domain logon and shut down dialog boxes, I've successfully modded the logon dialog with my companies logo.

I've been res-hacking msgina.dll and changed the BMP's for

Bitmap >> 101 >> 1033
Bitmap >> 103 >> 1033
Bitmap >> 107 >> 1033

Rather than replace the existing msgina file I've included a line in the regsitry pointing to the repacement.

Small snag... the domain shut down dialog box bitmap doesn't change... am I missing something simple?

*img263.imageshack.us/img263/3988/shutdownwinpa0.gif

Thats the one I wish to change, like I said all the others work fine, it's just this one thats got me stumped..

Cheers for any help you or anyone else can offer...

Rob

^^ Try to change the same BITMAPs in "Shell32.dll" file.

 

[Harvik780]

Do u know that if u continuously save a file in res hack it looses it's integrity and the becomes corrupt.I got a file corrupted just like that..

 

[Rob Johnson]

^^ Try to change the same BITMAPs in "Shell32.dll" file.

Vishal, the only two bitmaps that look like they need changing are

131:1033
and
138:1033

both of these I've changed and I've used replacer to replace shell32.dll...
when I open shell32.dll with resource hacker it shows the two new bitmaps.

but for some reason that dialog box remains unchanged..

the login boxes look like this...

*img221.imageshack.us/img221/6524/pic1on8.png
*img84.imageshack.us/img84/98/pic2mq0.png
*img145.imageshack.us/img145/6492/pic3lc6.png

but when you click "start" and then "shutdown" you get this

*img219.imageshack.us/img219/8441/pic4za5.png

then it changes back to the bitmaps I've res-hacked in for the "closing network connections" etc dialog boxes prior ro the pc switching off.

Like I said it's got me stumped, I've changed all I thought I had to... so anymore help would be gratefully recieved..

Rob
