Change start orb
Hi I have a problem
When I change the Windows start orb via Windows 7 Start Orb Changer v2.6 or manually with Res Hacker (replacing the bitmaps under entries 6801, 6805 and 6809 in explorer.exe), I get the following error on Windows startup:
Followed by "Failed to update BITMAP '6805'", and "Failled to update BITMAP '6809'". To remove the error I have to revert to the default start orb. Using Windows Start Orb Changer v5 works but has a drawback: if for whatever reason explorer.exe crashes or if I have to manually refresh it for some particular purpose, my custom orb is gone and the default one is back, requiring me to change it back again.
So what I'm looking for is a way to change the start orb permanently and without any error messages. Oddly, Windows Start Orb Changer v2.6 used to work fine for me in Windows 7, so I wonder what happened.
Yes I have enabled custom themes in case you were wondering.
