hello friends, my name's balaji and i prefer my friends to call me bal. so i'm into system modding. as of now i'm doing r&d on win98. my area of expertise is enhancing the gui and visual elements of an os as also making the system more stable (win98 was never stable as you all'd know). i have tried changing zonealarm and nav2005 resource icons (i.e. the icons inbuilt into the executable) with reshack. but these executables won't work after i change the icons, due to integrity verification failure. would some wizkid help me in locating the icons addresses inside these executables, and also how to replace one set of data with another, like taking the 256color icon data and putting it in place of 16color icon data. would appreciate an early help.\nregards,\nbal

If you're area of expertiseis making systems more stable, you'd know not to try and overwrite data imbedded in an executable for something as frivilous as this!

Let's see now... Why don't we add a proper POSIX shell, move the graphics subsystem so it's less binded to the kernel (rather like X), open the code up the code under the GPL for peer review, add proper virtual file system support to the file manager (like Konqueror), add a more flexible panel (like Kicker), replace the registry with easier to manage text-based configuration files, and, well you can see where I'm going with this one...

You did not state in which programe you wanted to remove the icons. But in most instances it is a case of going into TOOLS or VIEW (as in Explorer) and click on toolbar and then customise.\nHope this helps

http://www.icongalore.com/\n  You can download free icons from this sight. Create a shortcut to the program you want, right click on it, go to properties and change icon. I have XP and can't see any way to move icons from desktop to taskbar. Earlier versions of Windows allowed you to do this.

For XP you can download and patch (actually a ex.theme hack) with this Vista lookalike app. Be sure to read up about how to do it properly. After you do that (if you decide to) you can go to deviant art for many more themes. \n\nRead up here\nhttp://www.windowsxlive.net/\n\nHere\nhttp://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?s=250c027ee52888d0de6cc3022532096d&showforum=36\n\nHere\nhttp://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?s=250c027ee52888d0de6cc3022532096d&showforum=34\n\n\n More themes here\nhttp://browse.deviantart.com/customization/skins/windows/visualstyle/?order=9&alltime=yes

I dont understand the question. You want to know where paint is? Its under Start Menu, Programs, Accessories.\n\nYou want to know the options in Paint program? \n\nCan you be more elaborate please.

Try this: on your toolbar Click "STart", then "All Programs", then "Accessories"\nYou should find Paint under that category.\n\nShoot! That's strange!\nthis program;s name is usually located there: %SystemRoot%&#92;System32&#92;mspaint.exe\n\nLook for mspaint.exe. Maybe you moved it by mistake.\n\nAdded Monday afternoon, 4:55pm:\nYou found it? GREAT!!!!\nYou can copy it on your desktop, and lauhch it from there.\nOr ... you can copy it back in the %SystemRoot%&#92;System32&#92;mspaint.exe\n\nI think putting it on your desktop is easier.\n\n:=)

The image wasn't clear enough, but I guess that you are using Office 2003...\n\nTo solve this Problem, do the following (links for step-by-step tutorial images is included down):\n\n- Right-click on the Toolbars or Menu-bars(anywhere on them - the toolbars are those having the Open, Save, etc Buttons...the Menu-bars are those having File Menu, Edit, etc.);\n- A Popup Menu will Appear, the Last Option in this Menu is "Customize...", click on it;\n- A new dialog box will apeear with the title "Customize", click on the second Tab named "Commands";\n- Under commands, there is two List Menu's, on the left one, named "Categories:", click on "View";\n- The "Commands" List will Automatically change...scroll down until you find an Item called "¶ Show All";\n- Click on it- the mouse cursor will change, will have a button on it the mouse, and at the end there is a + sign;\n- Now, keep clicking on it and Drag it ON A TOOLBAR, NOT OUTSIDE THE TOOLBAR...\nOnce you drag it on the Toolbar, you will get the bottom right icon as +, if its out of the toolbar, the button right icon as a x;\n- Leave it in the desired place and exit the Customize Menu;\n- Click on this button and everything should be back to normal...\n\nTo remove this button from the Toolbar, simply open the customize menu and then drag the icon from the toolbar to the Customize box and it will be removed...\n\nI made two images that simply exaplain all this:\n1. http://img103.imageshack.us/img103/9831/0015lo.jpg\n2. http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/4531/0026zh.jpg\n\n\nPS: UNINSTALLING/REPAIRING Office doesn't resolve the problem for two reasons:\n1. When Office is uninstalled, the Office directory is not deleted, and keeps some files that store the previously used settings;\n2. Some registry files remain as is storing, also, some reviously used settings...\n\nHope this solves your problem...

I did a Google search and found a site that makes some suggestions.  I see it includes an idea posted above ( Start/Run/appwiz.cpl ), plus other ideas:\nhttp://www.softwaretipsandtricks.com/forum/windows-xp/13705-missing-add-remove-programs-option.html\n\nI have had problems with other applets not working in the past, and Google helped find solutions.

I need a little more information in order to diagnose the problem.  When you go to the screen where you select the number of colours, are you able to change to 256, and it displays colours correctly...but then changes back later?  Or does it not even change at all to 256 colors?\n\nOften this sort of problem is related to some sort of change in the video drivers...this will often cause the computer to fall back on a default driver, which usually has only 16 colours.\n\nIf there is not a problem with the driver, it may be a more serious problem with your computer.  This would be difficult to diagnose...it could be a problem with the registry, a virus, or any number of other things.  Once in a while, a problem with the battery will cause some settings (like the clock) to reset, but I have never seen this lead to a problem with the number of colours resetting.\n\nThe other person's advice to use system restore is one option, although in practice, on ME, my experience with system restore has been poor.  Usually the best bet is a clean install, and the big piece of advice I have is--you probably shouldn't be using ME.  Most people who have ME I recommend to upgrade to windows 2000, which is much more stable.  If this is not an option because your computer is too old, sometimes a downgrade to 98SE can actually improve the stability of the system too.

First a question, do you have the Yahoo widgets Engine installed ?\n\nIf not you will need to install that in order to use the widgets as they are written for the engine and are not native windows apps in and of themselves so simply renaming them to .exe will not make them work.\n\nIf you do have the Widgets engine Installed then you should try uninstalling it then re-installing it to see if that fixes the problem, in some cases to get it to install properly will require you to empty the Temp folders, if so e-mail me and I will tell you how to do this. fsebentley@direcway.com

I don't entirely understand your question, but I will assume you're asking how to change the icon of a shortcut: Just right click on a shortcut and click properties. Then click "Change Icon". You'll need an icon to change it to, as in a .ico file. \n\nA quick search turned up this website http://www.iconarchive.com/ which is an archive of icons. \n\nAnd since you're coming from Mac OS, here is a site detailing the differences between Mac icons and Windows icons.\n\nhttp://www.xvsxp.com/interface/icons.php

Microsoft Snafu:\n\nTry this:\n\nclick START, RUN, type "CMD" (no quotes,) and hit ENTER.\nType "ren C:&#92;windows&#92;system32&#92;verclsid.e xe C:&#92;windows&#92;system32&#92;verclsid.o ld (no quotes, and combine the "e xe" to "exe" and "o ld" to "old",) and hit ENTER.\nFinally, type "exit" and hit enter.\nReboot your computer, and it will work!\n\nGood Luck! Let me know if you have any other questions!\n\nMike Z.
