===========================
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.
===========================
This tutorial will help you in enabling "View" menu on Desktop which is now available by default.
1. Open %windir%\System32\Shell32.dll file in Resource Hacker.
2. Goto: Menu -> 215 -> 1033.
3. In right-side pane, replace the line saying:
POPUP "&View", 28674, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED, 0
to:
POPUP "&View", 0, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED, 0
i.e., you have to only change the ID 28674 to 0. It can also be done by deleting the text after "&View" and after compilation resource hacker will automatically add the remaining part.
4. Now click on Compile Script button and save the file.
Now after restarting the PC, you'll see the VIEW menu on desktop and it'll work without any problem.
NOTE: After applying this tweak the "View" button on Toolbar will stop working.

hi ... when i open the file %windir%\System32\Shell32.dll ... it says ... DllRegisterServer in C:\WINDOWS\System32\Shell32.dll succeeded ... wat is means???
VG
^^ You have to open Shell32.dll file in Resource Hacker. I think you are directly opening it and default option is set to "Register DLL" for .DLL files in your system.
Download Resource Hacker and then open the file in it. You can find Resource Hacker in "Resource Hacker" section.

Menu -> 220
Here you can change the test.
