Hacking RUN Dialog Box in Windows XP




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

1. Download the Mickey Mouse image from here. Convert it in BMP.

2. Download the attached AVI from this post. Its a ZIP file so extract the AVI file from it.

avi.zip

3. Open shell32.dll file in Resource Hacker.

4. Add the BITMAP and give it name 405 (You can give any name but this is what I gave in my Shell32.dll file, You have to give it same if you want to copy the same code as I’m posting here).

5. Add the attached AVI and give it name 111.

6. 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_code.txt

7. Now compile the script and save the file.

  1. An Error has been occurred during compile the script.

    Compiler Error in line 3 at offset 9
    Invalid statement: Text expected

  2. ^^ Thanks for pointing it out. There was some problem in code, so I have uploaded a text file containing the code. Download it and replace the code. :smile:

  3. thank you vishal. thank you very much

  4. where do I save the compiled file..sorry but i am confused..

  5. ^^ You have 2 options:

    1. Patch WFP service using WFP Patcher which you can get in “Downloads” section and then you’ll be able to save the file without any problem.

    2. Save the file at some other location and then replace original file with your edited one using “Replacer” (Available in “Downloads” section).

  6. which origional file I should replace with replacer??

  7. Thank you sir!finally it works..

  8. ^^ Welcome. :)

  9. Is there any way to replace my own bitmaps in run box??

  10. ^^ Why not. Follow “All About Resource Hacker” tutorial in “Resource Hacker” section and you’ll know how to replace BITMAPs. :)

  11. the one problem i find with this is that when you execute the Run dialog the clock stays constant, is there a workround for this so that we can have a working clock and not just a snapshot of the time at which Run was executed?

  12. Yep. The clock will stay constant. No way. :razz:

  13. Tried so many times but now I became tried! :?:
