Thank you for nice guide.
Please tell me which file and which resource should be hacked in order to change windows explorer toolbar icons in windows 2000.

Thank you.

I've reshacked explorer.exe, logonui.exe, ntoskernel.exe, shell32.dll and some others without any trouble, but when it comes to reshacking luna.msstyles, WinXP will not accept it unless I have styleXP installed. I've patched UXTheme.dll and I assumed that my modified luna would be acceptable, but after uninstalling stylexp, my Luna still wasn't acceptable, even after changing anything that said Microsoft in it. Any help please? I'd rather not have styleXPservice taking up memory. Cheers.

/edit: by the way, my desktop looks like this after using ResHack.

hmmm, sanctified, could u plz give a full guide on how to make windows xp look like ur screenshot? I REALLY LIKE UR LOOK! i got lotsa stuff done to my xp, but i need to know how to edit the run dialog (i know its thru reshacker, but i dunno how to edit the one that comes with windows) and also which theme you are using and how you make your explorer so minimalistic! (oh ye, and what icon set ur using. i use smoothmetal + novola, but im bored of the eye candy tbh)

nice guide, gonna go visit some stuff soon

[oddcrap]

Very nice guide.

[metal_termite]

For everyone asking, he made his desktop look like that by reshacking explorer.exe. There are guides on how to do this along with other xp hacks on www.virtualplastic.net which he provided.

I'd like to know where I can find that desktop wallpaper sanctified used. Wow.

[Primie]

Is there anymore websites like www.virtualplastic.net ? I want more resources before i actually get down and dirty with windows classic

[easternBrain]

well im saving that guide, n will mail it to every local dummy who approaches me with the question.....

this will lesssen a little headache.... n provide more options to ppl as well.
coz until now the only customization tip I gave to a nooBe dummy was to DESKTOP-> right click, properties
after that use Style XP for 30 days n after that a shell pack....
Thanx man.

edit: btw thats how my desktop looks with hacked uxtheme.dll after 1 month of Style XP.
