hey vish ....... when is site going to open i cant wait ........

 

[rollcage]

Can you make a Auto Installer for it .. that would be awesome man. Just A thought.

@verykoolalex
thnx for compliments buddy.
Resource hacker was developed by "Angus Johnson".

@MR.MOUSTACHE, vish786 and Ron
I hv plans to start the site but can't promise when will I start working on it. So just stay tuned and I'll announce whenever I start it.

@rollcage
Thats a good idea but it'll require lots of time and efforts. It'll be a whole customization pack. I'll keep in my mind and if I get time then I'll surely make one.

Thanks for considering,

[Vishal Gupta]

^^ You'll have to edit "Shell32.dll" file and change the required icon. I can't tell the exact icon no cause I'm on Vista now. Just look into the file and you'll get the icon.

Make it the largest icon, say 96x96 of ICONGROUP 4 of shell32.dll.
Make sure that the thumbnail size in explorer is set to the same size or larger than this in the registry

 

[Vishal Gupta]

I was notified that a few download links are broken in the tutorial, so I have fixed all the links.

Dude i changed my shell32.dll but when i try to replace it in system32 folder
winxp doesnt allows me . more over if someone has changed it already why dont just upload the modifies dll's and post link here. that way ppl wont get into much trouble


just saying it would save a lot of hassle
