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.

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:
You can change the strings according to your needs.

Actually I posted both tutorials separately, So I didnt care of that. Don't worry, you can change "404" to something else like "406", etc. But make sure that you replace all instances in the code.
Jolou
How would I do that?
VG
^^ Just follow the steps but use "406" in place of "404" in all steps.
Jolou
Anyway to remove the Date, Time and Year box from the run dialog? What part of the coding should I edit or delete to remove it?
Thnx.
VG
^^ Just select them and press "Delete" key.
Jolou
Doesn't work. Which part of the coding do I have to edit for the ENTIRE Date dialog box to be gone?
Jolou
HURRAY! I fixed it.
Disregard that last part.
