Is there a tutorial for changing shell32 icons ? I am trying to figure out how to tell a big a bitmap should be in order to fit inside a dialog box? Also I keep corrupting my shell32.dll when I edit it how do I make sure this dosen't happen? I get 0x000008E file error! John

Downlaod Resource Hacker. Open shell32.dll then goto Action > Replace Icon. Also if you wish to replace multiple resources i suggest you learn about how you can use scripts todo so.

When should I Use modifype on the shell file? Also I am using hfslip should I put the file in my $OEM$ folder or compression bin and put it into the fix folder? jOHN

Use modifype after you've made changes to the file. If you reshack the file later again, then modifype it again.
