===========================
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:
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:
You can change the strings according to your needs.

Your Run Dialog box tweaking is super but....
you must mind it the run dialog box "Drobdown option"its not provides in your run dialog box.A "Dropdown" option is not provided in run dialog box is totally waste....see to change the this code..
your dialog code 1003>1033
CONTROL "", 12298, COMBOBOX, CBS_SIMPLE | CBS_AUTOHSCROLL | CBS_DISABLENOSCROLL | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_VSCROLL | WS_TABSTOP, 10, 115, 195, 13
change and edit the: line 12 ---CBS_SIMPLE ---to---CBS_DROPDOWN

Hi VG,
how do i change back to original run dialog box?
thanks
VG
^^ Once you save the file, Resource hacker creates a backup of the file with the name "shell32_original.dll". So you can restore it back to get default run box.

Ok, Thank you for reply VG.
For Picture 404, I change add 404 with number 406, because number 404 already add for progress dialog box, but when i open Run dialog it appear with same picture in progress dialog box, not appear like picture 404 for Run dialog box.
How i can fix it.
VG
^^ You'll need to replace 404 with 406 in the code as well.

I simply love it!
But I'm switching now to Windows 7 and I wonder if there is a way to do such things in Windows 7.
If there is one please tell us so.
Thanx,
