Explorer "Group By" Text Change - Can I?

[dacrone]

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.

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...

Oh I see sorry I don't know how to do that.

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?

Not that I know of.
