change the download window in IE6 and IE7


Recommended Posts

Sorry but I want the tutorial. Dj, can you please tell us how to mod the other dialog boxes and how you did the run box??

another question:

for the ieframe.dll, is all you do is add in a:

  CONTROL 9000, 9000, STATIC, SS_BITMAP | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS | WS_GROUP, 0, 0, 348, 29

at the end??

thanks.

but what do you mean by moving the controls?

what are the resource numbers for the copy, delete, etc. dialog boxes?

and are they in shell32.dll?

btw, i managed to modify the run window and here's how i did it:

1. make a smaller version of the background image, about the same size as DJ has.

2. Open shell32.dll in reshacker and add new resource

3. open that bitmap file and name it 9001 with language number 1033

4. Go to Dialog 1003 and replace the code with:

1003 DIALOGEX 0, 0, 227, 128
STYLE DS_FIXEDSYS | DS_MODALFRAME | DS_NOIDLEMSG | DS_CONTEXTHELP | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
CAPTION "Run"
LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US
FONT 8, "MS Shell Dlg"
{
   CONTROL 160, 12297, STATIC, SS_ICON | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, 7, 32, 21, 20 
   CONTROL "Type the name of a program, folder, document, or Internet resource, and Windows will open it for you.", 12289, STATIC, SS_LEFT | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_GROUP, 36, 34, 182, 18 
   CONTROL "&Open:", 12305, STATIC, SS_LEFT | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_GROUP, 7, 62, 24, 10 
   CONTROL "", 12298, COMBOBOX, CBS_DROPDOWN | CBS_AUTOHSCROLL | CBS_DISABLENOSCROLL | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_VSCROLL | WS_TABSTOP, 36, 60, 183, 199 
   CONTROL "Run in separate &memory space", 12306, BUTTON, BS_AUTOCHECKBOX | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_DISABLED | WS_TABSTOP, 36, 82, 183, 10 
   CONTROL "OK", 1, BUTTON, BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABSTOP, 62, 100, 50, 14 
   CONTROL "Cancel", 2, BUTTON, BS_PUSHBUTTON | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABSTOP, 116, 100, 50, 14 
   CONTROL "&Browse...", 12288, BUTTON, BS_PUSHBUTTON | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABSTOP, 170, 100, 50, 14 
   CONTROL 9001, 9001, STATIC, SS_BITMAP | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS | WS_GROUP, 0, 0, 226, 29 
}

5. Compile, save and replace

Dj_baby or anyone else who knows. Im interested in modify things on my own. I guess experiment a bit, but how do you people read and decipher the code for the windows and such. I just see it and get confused, and is there any safe way to test it after you've experimented a bit?

Thanks

In the resource scripts like the one i have on my previous post, if you use reshacker, you can drag the controls around like you would do with images in powerpoint. I havent tried to add in anything by writing code myself but i have a few theses:

 CONTROL 9001, 9001, STATIC, SS_BITMAP | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS | WS_GROUP, 0, 0, 226, 29 

Control spcifies its a control and the 9001 is the resource number. the four numbers at the end of that row are for the positioning and the rest i dont really know what exactly they do.

Btw, when you modify shell32.dll, do you always have to reboot to have the effects made?

And can somebody please tell me what are the resource numbers for the copy, etc. dialog boxes??

you have to reboet yes no dubt about that and

copy delete and move ar 1 dialog and thats

dialog 1020

this is my code for dialog 1020

1020 DIALOGEX 20, 20, 250, 103
STYLE DS_FIXEDSYS | DS_MODALFRAME | DS_NOIDLEMSG | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
CAPTION ""
LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US
FONT 8, "MS Shell Dlg"
{
   CONTROL "", 103, STATIC, SS_LEFTNOWORDWRAP | SS_NOPREFIX | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, 8, 45, 236, 10 
   CONTROL "", 102, STATIC, SS_LEFTNOWORDWRAP | SS_NOPREFIX | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, 8, 31, 236, 10 
   CONTROL "", 104, "msctls_progress32", PBS_SMOOTH | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, 9, 62, 232, 15 
   CONTROL "", 105, STATIC, SS_LEFT | SS_NOPREFIX | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, 7, 83, 192, 10 
   CONTROL "Cancel", 2, BUTTON, BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, 202, 81, 40, 14 
   CONTROL 9000, 9000, STATIC, SS_BITMAP | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_GROUP, 65421, 0, 366, 29 
}

but you need som more restyling to it,

and it don't care how long the bitmap is you can move the bitmap outside the dialog

the code between resourcename and position are style controles for know what the are like a bitmap or a avi or button

and Deathray is just the way of playing whit reshacker you don't know how it must work, just a litle radical thinking and you be fine

if you new at it just before restuling the code you shukd alwase backup and if it for shell32.dll and other critical stuff beter make a restore point so you can alwase go back to it

greets Dj_baby

ps: sorry for my english hope you understand me

Thanks, DJ.

And would it mess up anything if I make the progress bar longer? Is that what you did with the IE download box?

    • Google reportedly limited Meta's Gemini access over limited AI compute by Karthik Mudaliar Google is reportedly limiting Meta's use of its Gemini AI models after Meta tried buying more computing capacity than even Google could supply. According to the Financial Times, Google told Meta in March that it could not provide the full Gemini capacity that Meta had requested. This shortfall even disrupted and delayed some of Meta's internal projects. Due to this, Meta even told its employees internally to use AI tokens more efficiently. Meta wasn't the only one to get hit by this sudden refusal by Google; even other customers were affected. But Meta was hit harder because of its unusually high demand for Google's models. The move from Google makes it evident that companies all over are in limited supply of both infrastructure and compute. Alphabet said in April that Google Cloud revenue grew 63% year-over-year to $20 billion in the first quarter, helped by enterprise AI infrastructure and AI solutions. In pursuit of more compute, Meta had earlier signed a multi-billion-dollar AWS agreement as well as a large AMD GPU deal for AI data centers. But the crunch would be short-lived as both Meta and Google have also ramped up infrastructure investments heavily. Meta said in November that it was committing more than $600 billion in the U.S. by 2028 for AI technology, infrastructure, and workforce expansion. In the first quarter of this year, Meta also raised its expected capital expenditure for 2026 to a range of $125 billion to $145 billion, citing higher component pricing and additional data center costs for future capacity. However, this doesn't make the company immune to the current dependence on outside suppliers. Meta has also spent many years promoting Llama as an open-weight alternative to closed models from Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic. But if the reported reliance on Google's Gemini models is severe enough for internal work to get impacted, then it looks like even frontier labs and Big Tech aren't fully self-sufficient.

    • I like to reminisce about the good old days, way back in autumn 2025 when building a gaming machine was fun and the drives were about $150 when you caught a deal. Yes duh, back in the day we had it gone. Then baby Skynet came along, hiding in AI datacenters demanding more processing power until it reached singularity. End of a not totally fictional story.
    • My experience in the past with older Windows 11 builds was not great on unsupported machines but I recently used Rufus to put the latest build on a older 5th Gen Core Thinkpad T that we upgraded with a SATA SSD and 8GB of RAM four years ago when hardware was reasonable and it seemed pretty fast and solid. Customer is very happy with the performance and will probably get four more years out of that venerable laptop that he loves so much. Another customer just retired his Dell Studio laptop from 2009 running Windows 10. It got an SSD over 10 years ago and did everything he needed it to for 17 years but he also retired last year and is happy doing everything on his iPad now.
    • Apple's newest AirTag 2 gets first big discount by Taras Buria In late January 2026, Apple introduced its second-generation AirTag trackers, bringing a refresh to the old model that has been on the market for half a decade. Now, you can get these new trackers at an all-time low price, thanks to the first big discount that brought the price down by 17% on Amazon. While the second-generation AirTag looks identical to its predecessor, it packs meaningful upgrades inside. The second-gen ultrawideband chip works 50% farther than the original AirTag, allowing you to detect lost items in a wider range. In addition, the second-generation AirTag features an upgraded Bluetooth chip for extended range and a significantly louder speaker (up to 50%) so that you can hear it better when locating a lost item. Note that the second-gen AirTag only works with iPhones and iPads that run iOS/iPadOS 26 and newer, so you need a compatible device to use the tracker. Like the original AirTag, the AirTag 2 is available in two packs: one and four pieces. Both are now available at a notable discount on Amazon, and you can purchase them using the links below. Apple AirTag 2 tracker - $24 | 17% off on Amazon Apple AirTag 2 tracker (four-pack) - $89 | 10% off on Amazon Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S.- specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • I've been on Deezer for over a decade, but glad that Tidal joined them in fighting AI slop. Can't stand such takes as Spotify's: "Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music."
