i have tried modifying the bitmaps resources 131 and 138 in shell32.dll using Resource Hacker and ResEdit, copying shell32.dll to both system32 and system32\dllcache folders, and it still isnt working. Have searched my drive for other copies of shell32.dll to see if windows is copying from another file but there isnt any. I'm running WinXP SP2, does this matter?
