    System dialog customization
    « on: April 29, 2011, 03:04:51 PM »
    Hi!

    I used Resource Hacker to modify system info dialog.

    Only one think can't to be modified: string "Service Pack 3" - look in attachment picture...

    I have Windows XP SP3 CZ 32-bit Professional Edition.

    Can anybody help me to remove or change this option?

    Many thanks for every help, reply and comments.

    K, I thought that setting was loaded from the reg, but I changed it and it didn't change in the window.

    Just remove the control from the dialog.

    Open dialog 101, and remove the line that says: CONTROL "", 55, STATIC, SS_LEFT | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_GROUP, 141, 55, 100, 8

      Thank you!

      Really works!

      Only one thing, but not so important:

      Is possible to set custom text instead Service Pack 3?

      Many many thanks!

      Yes. You need to add back in the line you deleted and change the first number to 73 because that is the next unused number (if it's not the same on your machine make sure to check). That makes it so the program can't reference it and can't replace it with "Service Pack whatever".

      It should look like this: CONTROL "Your text here", 73, STATIC, SS_LEFT | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_GROUP, 141, 55, 100, 8

          Hi!

          So, when I customized everything.... I'm watching System Dialog...

          There are info about CPU & RAM... (highlightet by red on screenshot)...

          IS POSSIBLE TO DO ALSO WITH THESE INFO OWN CHANGES, e.g.

          MOS8502 CPU 8-bit
          2 MHz, 128 kB RAM

          or something other and remove/change text "Rozsireni fyzicke adresy"?

          Many thanks for every help, I'm using Resource hacker...

          K, open up resource hacker and go to dialog 101 again.

          Remove these lines:

          CONTROL "", 65, "Link Window", 0x50000000, 141, 159, 110, 8
          CONTROL "", 66, "Link Window", 0x50000000, 141, 170, 110, 8
          CONTROL "", 67, "Link Window", 0x50000000, 141, 181, 110, 8
          CONTROL "", 68, "Link Window", 0x50000000, 141, 192, 110, 8
          CONTROL "", 70, "Link Window", 0x50000000, 141, 203, 110, 8
          CONTROL "", 71, "Link Window", 0x50000000, 141, 214, 110, 8
          CONTROL "", 72, "Link Window", 0x50000000, 141, 225, 110, 8

          Add these lines in same place:

          CONTROL "MOS8502 CPU 8-bit", 74, STATIC, SS_LEFT | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_GROUP, 141, 159, 110, 8
          CONTROL "2 MHz, 128 kB RAM", 75, STATIC, SS_LEFT | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_GROUP, 141, 170, 110, 8
          CONTROL "text here", 76, STATIC, SS_LEFT | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_GROUP, 141, 192, 110, 8

          Mine does not have any text in place of "Rozsireni fyzicke adresy" so I might be wrong about that part.

          Remember to compile script. You should be able to see the pattern now. Just a tip: If you click on the text in the preview window, it will put a little red * next to the line that corresponds to it.
