What can I do with stringtables? Can I access fonts so they are shown in the outputs? possibly change their colours? John

^^ Glad to know you found it. Can you share the exact resource numbers here so that AskVG readers can get benefit with it?

Alright found it. Instead of being with the other power buttons in explorer.exe, they were in the msstyle. And guess what? They have the button broken down into two images (which is why I didn't find it in the first place), an image for the button states, and an image for the little arrow glyph. What an intelligent design Well thanks anyways, I had to use U.K. Intel's resource finder theme.

^^ As far as I remember, its in Explorer.exe file otherwise it should be stored in the msstyles file. Sorry but I'm on Windows 7 now so can't help much in finding the exact location.

Hello, while theming vista, I have come across a resource that I cannot find anywhere. On the start menu, to the right of the hibernate and lock buttons is a little arrow that links to more power options. I can't find this resource anywhere. I've looked in explorer.exe where the other power buttons are, but that arrow button is nowhere to be found. Have you found this button before? And if you have can you please share this secret.

This is something I have not ran across yet (seems cool, thanks!). My question would be, is this something that would allow me to put the everyday (tried and true , been there forever, why the HECK did microsoft take it outta vista) DELETE button back in windows explorer? I would be curious to know, and thanks for feedback!

How do I make sure the file is not corrupt? John

^^ Take ownership of the file. Then save the file at some other location. At last rename default file to some other name like "imageres_bak.dll" and copy new modified file to the same folder. restart your system and Windows will start using the new file.

Hey man. I'm trying to hack imageres.dll. It won't let me save because it says it cannot create the file. There is no _original. The WFP switcher doesn't seem to work with Vista...what shouild I do?
