    Hello

    With the resource hacker program I can directly access a value (StringTable-> 37-> 1036 and the name "Begin")

    How can I do that with Win32 API c/c++, he is an example?

    Thanks in advance

    But the API's will not change and you can start off with Icon then strings then other things ....

    that's work will :D
    but not in explorer.exe :(
    i try to change the value "Start" but your program can't change the icon of explorer.exe so it can't read the value "Start"

    :confused: hmm why ???

    Instead of changing first try to read it. Are able to see it using the code. There may be multiple times the icon in the resource for different sizes.

    Also are you able to do the same using resource hacker?
