[QUOTE="nanopro, post: 5511059, member: 210080"] Step 1: Create a system restore point just incase if something goes wrong you can roll back to the original settings. Make a back up copy of explorer.exe in a safe place, maybe in a different folder. Step 2: You would need to download a small freeware utility called Resource Hacker. "Resource HackerTM is a freeware utility to view, modify, rename, add, delete and extract resources in 32bit Windows executables and resource files (*.res). It incorporates an internal resource script compiler and decompiler and works on Win95, Win98, WinME, WinNT, Win2000 and WinXP operating systems." excerpt from Resource Hacker's Website [URL="http://www.users.on.net/johnson/resourcehacker/reshack.zip"]download resource hacker[/URL] Step 3: Open Resource Hacker utility.
