noguru Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Link to TClock is broken. Site seems to be gone, I get a 404 error. I found this mirror for who likes to try it.http://www.brothersoft.com/desktop_utiliti...clock_7739.htmlHmmm. Strange...I just accessed the original Tclock site:http://homepage1.nifty.com/kazubon/tclock/and worked ok.Sorry, my mistake, I have not been clear. I can reach the site too, but the downloads (all) don't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know almost nothing about the program, so my question may be a dumb one. Here goes anyway.... Can you use ResHacker to do what you're describing above?ivman Edited October 25, 2006 by ivman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy_Rivers Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 yes u can do this with reshacker just make sure u replace with same size .enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDGx Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 (edited) No, you can't use Resource Hacker [RH] to do what is described above, because RH only edits 32-bit executables [PEs], not 16-bit.That's why Exescope is for, edits also 16-bit PEs.And USER.EXE in all 9x/ME OSes is a 16-bit PE.More info + more similar tools:http://www.mdgx.com/toy.htm#HEXHTH__________________________________noguru:Thanks for the heads up, my mistake, I didn't bother to try the actual links to files. But I found a newer version [TClock2] and also a newer build of old TClock [2.2.9 = 000105en98.zip below], and if you have WinXP, check out TClock Lite + LClock:* TClock2 v1.20 32-bit for Windows 9x/NT4/2000/ME/2000/XP/2003 displays thedate and time in the Taskbar Tray, changes Start button/icon, Start Menucolor/bitmap, highly customizable (free GPL):http://www.shii.org/tclock/Direct download [96 KB]:http://www.shii.org/tclock/tclock2_120.zipOLD TClock [179 KB]:http://ftp.cs.pu.edu.tw/Windows/Softking/s.../000105en98.zipTClock Lite for Windows XP/2003 [374 KB]:http://homepage1.nifty.com/kazubon/tclocklight/LClock for Windows XP/2003 [186 KB]:http://www.neowin.net/forum/?showtopic=157465 Edited October 26, 2006 by MDGx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PROBLEMCHYLD Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Most of those apps listed don't even support 16-bit PEsI'm tired of downloading all these apps and they don't work.So what they are free they can't get the job done.The best one i found was exescope but i still can't change it.Any solutions.

eidenk Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 (edited) Try KHIconRewrite. I have been able to change icons in 16bits PE with it where I could not otherwise do it even with eXescope. It's free but it is in japanese albeit it is easy enough to use without needing to know any japanese.http://www.khsoft.gr.jp/software/iconrewrite98/ Edited October 26, 2006 by eidenk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly I use Articons 2.2 that I have from an old PC Plus Cover CD. Microangelo Librarian is excellent I found when I tried the demo but that's all I fancy in it.I'll try to cook you a little list of very good and usefull freebies that I haven't seen listed on your site and that I find quite invaluable if you don't mind.BTW there is a clone of IconLab called Ilco :http://www.mintrasystems.com/products/mint...duct.php?p=iicoI think it's because they are both based on the full source code of the application that is available somewhere on net. Code Project or similar site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
