I want to edit/modify Setup.exe of Original XP CD, how do I do this?

P.S. I have tried using resource hacker. But, I don't know how to edit the stirings for Setup.exe file, so that it can match how I wanted to match to my own.

I was after doing the same thing myself only to find as much as you edit the setup.exe with resource hacker

you are still very limited to what you can change..

one you have all your images replaced, your still unable to change the background color...

I was told about this page and i'm now using StartCD.exe which can be customized alot better

so i would suggest using the StartCD.exe this is very simple to edit..

The main config file can be edited with notepad and has alot more flexibility..

Explain alittle more what you would like to change about the setup.exe

Peace ~~

[MmMm What in gods name have i done ?]

Well i seem to be missing three tabs from System Properties.. System Restore, Automatic Updates and the Remote tab

[MmMm What in gods name have i done ?]

Hello once again,

Cant seem to get my head round this one, its sending me ..

After making changes to my Shell32.dll files in my Windows XP Professional x64 Edition BUILD 5.2.3790.1830

with Restorator 2007 to replace the AVI's and the icons,

I seem to have messed up the System Properties tabs -->> Shell32.dll Problems.jpg

Now i know with windows X64 i had to replace both sets of Shell32.dll [ system32 ] + [sysWOW64 ]

I done this to both Shell32.dll files saved them booted in safe mode and used Task Manager to kill the explorer.exe process and then used CMD to replace the files..

Now im stuck with this issue and in the panic seemed to have deleted both original BACKUPS

For now i guess i can live with it for a while, But does anyone know how i can get originals back ??

Can i extract them from my original MS CD ? ..

Thanx for you time..
