Re: Some Modded System Files By Me !
Very Very good tut BlackBerry!! and you'd be happy to know that with your tut I made my WinXP into WinKova .... I mean I put up Anna Kournikova at every place on XP. Now, you gave us some script to compile in ResHacker along with those lovely pics so I was just wondering if you guys could tell us how to write those scripts it would be of great help for us. All we do is follow your steps, resize and replace your images with ours and feel happy that we did it.
Now how about writing those scripts ??
Did you guys write those script ?? If you only modified them and teach us how to do it !!
Anyways right now my WinXP is all about Anna Kournikova

No just edit the script, according to ur needs.
Or just edit the dialog boxes, the script will automatically modify.
