Details about modifiying shell32.dll and explorer.exe:

SHELL32.DLL 4.72.3812.600 (from Q313829)
Changed icons to look like Windows 2000 icons
ICON 18 (Network Neighborhood)
ICON 32 (Empty Recycle Bin)
ICON 33 (Full Recycle Bin)
ICON 35 (Desktop)
BITMAP 130 - Old Windows logo changed to new Windows logo, looks like XP?

EXPLORER.EXE 4.72.3612.1700 (from Internet Explorer 4.01 SP2/5.5 SP2/6.0 SP1)
Changed icons to look as Windows 2000 icons
ICON 100 (My Computer)
ICON 103 (Desktop)
ICON 108 (Recycle Bin)
BITMAP 157 (left banner in the Start Menu - added text "Second Edition")
BITMAP 161 (grey banner "Windows 95" changed to "Windows 98" - where it is used?)

Windows Explorer Patch (256 color TrayIcons)
http://www.dr-hoiby....IconIn256Color/
Find sequence 01,53,6A,01,6A,32,E8 and replace by 01,53,6A,11,6A,32,E8 (1 bit changed, 01 -> 11)
Test: http://www.dr-hoiby.com/TrayIconIn256Color...lorTrayTest.zip

Also the "green arrow" icon in hotplug.dll and systray.exe is 16x16 only and does not look nice on some screens, it is nicer to change it to 16x16 + 32x32 icons from Windows Me. It is:
HOTPLUG.DLL - icon 100
SYSTRAY.EXE - icon 210

I 'want to suggest why you don't tell us where we can find all the file and we will catch it,easy wall to made a localized version. sorry about the english
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I'd suggest the following procedure:

1. To check what files are localized in your Windows version. You can simply extract the original versions of all files contained in sp2.cab and partially in supp.cab from the installation CD ROM and then look for language version. For batch testing of language version either the makecab utility by adding *lang* in .Set InfFileLineFormat= line or by using filever utility from http://download.microsoft.com/download/E/D...AEA77/mpedp.exe
The result is the list of files you are looking for.

Petr,

I did not understand this step, even when I followed it... How can I do makecab build a list of localized files ? I've tried dozens of commands, with no luck. I'm trying to do this because I need a Brazilian Portuguese localization of the SP 2.1a.
Also, how can I use the MPEDP.EXE to do this ? Seems to be a utility only useful with Media Player, and not a utility to build a list of files we're looking for... [I'm using Win XP Pro SP2 to 'compile' the BR version of the SP.]
Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks a lot,

If you create the right line in the controlling DDF file, like

.Set InfFileLineFormat=*file*,*size*,*date*,*time*,"*ver*","*vers*",*lang*,"*csum*"

you will receive the INF file with lines like

WDMMDMLD.VXD,5186,1999-05-05,10:22:00p,"4.10.0.2222","4.10.2222",1033,"2dcaf639"
WINBOOT.SYS,222390,1999-05-05,10:22:00p,"","",,"589db406"

WSCRIPT.EXE,143360,1999-05-05,10:22:00p,"5.0.531.7","5.0.531.7",1046,"c455a5e5"
WSCRIPT.HLP,9673,1999-05-05,10:22:00p,"","",,"56588c39"
WSHEXT.DLL,73728,1999-05-05,10:22:00p,"5.0.531.7","5.0.531.7",1046,"c88f58eb"
WSHOM.OCX,132880,1999-05-05,10:22:00p,"5.0.531.7","5.0.531.7",1046,"827c802f"

Lang = 1046 is Brazilian Portuguese, 1033 is US English, nothing means that the file does not contain language information.

MPEDP.EXE package contains many useful utilities, one of them is filever.exe. This is an example of its output:

--a-- W16	APP PTB	 4.10.0.1998 shp	 11,859 05-05-1999 wdmaud.drv

In addition to the files marked as "1046" or "PTB", you will have to obtain also the following files in your language: WINBOOT.SYS, KEYB.COM, FDISK.EXE, VMM.VXD (strings has to be taken from VMM32.VXD), GROUPPOL.DLL all HLP and CHM files.

Some time ago I have created the following lists:
http://www.winpack.o...rnat_fixes.html
http://www.winpack.o...rnat_files.html
They are not up to date but just few files are missing.

If you won't be able to find any public fix or if you will need help with localizing of any file let me know.

You are lucky that for HTML32.CNV Brazilian Portuguese is one of four languages for which the localization done by Microsoft is correct.

Thanks, Petr,

I'll take a look on all these info you brought to me, maybe this time I will have success and contribute with the PT-BR localization of this nice job of yours and Gape !

Hello. I`m trying to do the localized version in Spanish For Latin America, and it look like an impossible task, but I will try.

I was fighting with the second step, that looks eternal. Cheking what files of the 177 in SP2.cab are localiced in the CD of instalation.

I have a lot of problems here, how can I find the files in the instalation CD, their are on Cab too, and there are very much cabs, and very much files.
Supose I start looking for "ACPI.SYS". Is it localiced? but first... where is it?
Well... I tryed WinRAR and I find 3 versions of it
one in BASE4.CAB, another in BASE5.CAB and other more in CATALOG3.CAB.
Then What?
It supossed to do it for every file?
PLEASE HELPME!!!
(I'm using XPSP2 to do it)

You can use these tables, they were already described somwhere here.

http://old.winpack.o...rnat_files.html

http://old.winpack.o...rnat_fixes.html

Please keep in mind that these tables were created in November 2005 and some information may be obsoleted.
