thanx but where can i find the explorer.exe i cant find it in the system32 folder

It's not in system32... it's in C:\WINDOWS (or whatever drive \WINDOWS).

Just be sure to make a backup of it. Also, you need to have SFC disabled in order for your modified explorer.exe file to stay put. Search on how to do that.

Have fun ResHacking!

Here is the correct way to change the bitmap in Explorer.exe

%systemdrive% = The Partition Windows Is Installed On

Make A Folder Called Shell on %systemdrive%\

Copy %systemdrive%\Windows\Explorer.exe To %systemdrive%\Shell

Download

Resource Hacker

Open Explorer.exe in Resource Hacker then replace Bitmap 167

Save the file after it been modified

Then use Replacer To replace the Explorer.exe in %systemdrive%\Windows
