Hacking RUN Dialog Box in Windows XP – Version 2



===========================

NOTE: If you are facing problems while saving the file after editing in resource hacker, then make sure you have disabled WFP (Windows File Protection) service using WFP Patcher, it can be found in our "Download" section.

Also if you are getting error "Can't create file...", that means you have edited and saved the file in past and there is a backup file which need to be deleted before saving this file again. Go to "System32" folder and you'll see a file having "shell32_original.dll". Delete it and try to save the file in resource hacker.

===========================

Following is a screenshot of RUN dialog box which you’ll get after applying this tutorial:

Here is a step-by-step tutorial for making your RUN dialog box look-a-like mine:

I have attached both images, just extract them and add them as following:

images.zip

1.) Open %windir%\System32\Shell32.dll file.
2.) Add 404.bmp at 404 location.
3.) Add 405.bmp at 405 location.
4.) Now download following text file, open it and copy the whole contents then goto Dialog -> 1003 -> 1033 and replace existing code with the copied code:

run_v2_code.txt

You can change the strings according to your needs.
