    Explorer "Group By" Text Change - Can I?


    In the "Group By" view of Windows Explorer in Windows 7, I would like to change the heading text. I have attached an image with red-outlined examples of what I would like to change. Does anyone know of a way to do this? Thanks.

    Welcome to the Seven Forums

    The only way I know to change it is with Ave's Windows7 Style Builder which I have and can do it for you. What color do you want?
    It will be a custom theme you will need to do 1 of these 2 ways of Enabling custom themes for it to work.
    Enabling Custom Themes - Windows 7
    Or
    Theme - How to Apply Custom Themes

    Let me know.

    I have it patched to use custom themes. The purpose for me changing these names is just so that I can have my removable drives and hard drives in the same category, similar to my Win 10 machine...

    Looks like it's in the shell32.dll.mui in both C:\Windows\System32 and C:\Windows\SysWOW64 in the String text.

    Thanks! Any way to combine the two so that all drives show in one group?
