Nah, it just means that people in here are being lazy . . . *grin*

To change the taskbar and start menu, what you really want is ObjectBar. Now, a public version of this isn't out yet, but it *will* be "real soon now", so you could wait for that (or buy a subscription to the Object Desktop Network and get it now . . .) - the Object bar page is here: https://www.stardock.com/products/objectbar/

Alternatively, you could try a DesktopX theme with a replacement for the taskbar. This is something to try if you want something a little more radical, or want to have a desktop theme that compliments your taskbar area. A DesktopX beta can be downloaded from here: https://www.stardock.com/products/desktopx/download.html

I haven't answered because i understood you wanted to accomplish that without any third party program, just with resource editing. Unfortunately I have no clue on how to do that, or even if it can be done...

Thx! GreenReaper for the links, but its like paxx
belived im trying to do this whitout any thirdparty products.

Sorry if it sounded like i was getting a little bit angry there, maybe i was somewhat tired trying to figure out how to do it, but i have found the *.bmp:s in explorer.exe that i want to change so now im back in the workshop.
by the way its XP im working on.
