hey all...
Today we are gonna talk about a cool utility called the resource hacker or RESHACK. RESHACK is a utility using which you can change the basic functioning, definations and the properties of the executable fies. This can be best used to modify the "Explorer" of your windows. Using this software you can change the dialogs, the icons, the names and many more. All in all you get a complete access to edit your pc.
1. View resources in Win32 executable files
(*.exe, *.dll, *.cpl, *.ocx) and in Win32
resource files (*.res) in both their compiled
and decompiled formats.
2. Extract (save) resources to file in:
*.res format; as a binary; or as decompiled
resource scripts or images.
Icons, bitmaps, cursors, menus, dialogs,
string tables, message tables, accelerators,
Borland forms and version info resources can
be fully decompiled into their respective
formats, whether as image files or *.rc text
files.
3. Modify (rename or replace) resources in
executables. Image resources (icons, cursors
and bitmaps) can be replaced with an image from
a corresponding image file (*.ico, *.cur, *.bmp),
a *.res file or even another *.exe file.
Dialogs, menus, stringtables, accelerators and
messagetable resource scripts (and also Borland
forms) can be edited and recompiled using the
internal resource script editor.
Resources can also be replaced with resources
from a *.res file as long as the replacement
resource is of the same type and has the same
name.
4. Add new resources to executables.
Enable a program to support multiple languages,
or add a custom icon or bitmap (company logo
etc) to a program's dialog.
5. Delete resources.
Most compilers add resources into applications
which are never used by the application.
Removing these unused resources can reduce an
application's size.

If you are using resource hacker to edit the explorer.exe file of your Windows XP then you can try some of these things:-
►goto "String table>37>1033" change the string "Start" to whatever you want to change the name of your start menu.
►You can change the string set using this. For example if i dont like the way the properties of start menu comes up and i wanna change the dialogs and explanations shown then i can change it thrhough the Dialog>205>1033
as shown
the possibilities are endless. I suggest my reders to get the software and go through it. explore the whole crap and you will not be dissapointed for sure...
