I found a guide that tells you to use Resource Tuner, but when I try it, it can't open explorer.exe. Is there another program that will work?
Also, do I have to modify only the explorer.exe file in C:\Windows or do I have to do it in C:\Windows\System32 and C:\Windows\SysWOW64 as well?
Here was the guide:
By the way, how do you replace the explorer.exe file if explorer isn't being used, meaning you can't open anything?How to edit:
Repeat steps 3 -9 untill you’re satisfied. Enjoy!
- Open your explorer.exe backup with Resource Tuner (or a comparable tool)
- Extract the image files
- Modify the file(s) to your likes
- In Resource Tuner select “Edit Resource” to add the edited image. (Important: the filename has to be the same as the original file)
- Select “Save File as…” and create a copy of explorer.exe somewhere
- Make sure all explorer windows are closed
- In Task Manager, kill explorer.exe
- Replace the old file with the newly created one
- In Task Manager restart explorer.exe (File --> new task --> explorer)
Hey Matt, look at these mate, and tell me if they're OK. The Wales with flames one is a nightmare, it's too small, but I'm still trying.
rose3.zip rose4.zip
wales.zip wales1.zip
I would think so but here's a guide on how to do it yourself:
Your gonna use:
Restorator (http://www.bome.com/Restorator/)
Registry key (from the zip I sent to you) applied
BMP file (attached)
and last of all: Common sense
How to:
First backup explorer.exe
Open explorer.exe with restorator.
Find the folder "bitmap" and replace:
6801.bmp
6805.bmp
6809.bmp
with the one attached, overwrite the explorer.exe in the windows folder with this one.
Open task manager kill the process explorer.exe, and start it again
Tried first with Restorator. Got this when trying to replace bitmaps:
Tried then Anolis Resourcer, thinking maybe my Restorator 2007 was an outdated version. Anolis gives this dialog when trying to save:
Would appreciate if you still got some tips but please, this is not so important so I do not want you to use too much time for this. You have better things to do.
