want to change the text like "Logging off...","Saving y

[abbhishek]

Hi everybody,

I expect that everybody now have xp installed in your computer. U've noticed that at the time of shutting down windows display some usual text like "Logging off...","Saving your settings" etc. Do u ever want to change them? Some of u may want but don't know how to do it. I'm telling u the way.

First, goto C:\Windows\system32\. Then locate the file winlogon.exe. Copy it to a place you like(like d: or any other place). To do this we should have some stuffs.

1. Resource Hacker.

2. Replacer.

They r not too much in space. So u can download them without any hesitation.

After downloading launch Resource Hacker(RH). Goto File->Open. Open the file winlogon.exe. In left hand pane expand String Table. Goto key 106. Expand it and click 1033. In the right u can find some sentences. Find "Windows is shutting down..." & "Logging off...". Change these with phrase u like. Then click on the button "Compile Script".Goto File->Save.

After it, Launch replacer. In the first step drop the original file (i.e. C:\Windows\ system32\ winlogon.exe) In second step drop ur modified file. (Drop Winlogon.exe not winlogon_original.exe created by RH). Do the rest(I hope u can do it by just reading).

U have done. Reboot ur computer. See what u have done!

If u face any problem feel free to post comments.
