Hacking RUN Dialog Box in Windows XP



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

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:

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 content, then goto Dialog -> 1003 -> 1033 and replace existing code with the copied code:

Download Code
If you want Cancel button in dialog box, then use this code

7. Now compile the script and save the file.

  • 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?
