need help on editing winver

Alright, so in regards to the dialog, I think I figured out why the dialog in your screenshots and the one I posted are so different: it’s because the one in your screenshots is not the one from Vista. Rather, it's from another version of Windows which, ironically enough, I posted the header bitmap for in an earlier post:


After a little bit of work, I managed to get it looking pretty good on Windows 7:


And here's the code for it:

As for the text, I would expect basebrd.dll to be the most likely place where you’d find that, but I haven’t been able to change it there. If worst comes to worst, you can always modify it in the dialog itself by changing the ID for the "CONTROL" element you want to replace the text on to "-1", and then simply add your own text in the empty quotation marks.
