Hi, so I've been trying to find out how to change more than the branding logo in winver since I've been an XP style approach for it. Can anybody help me? |

Version Info: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion, String "ReleaseID"
OS Info: Edit using Resource Hacker C:\Windows\Branding\Basebrd\locale-LOCALE\basebrd.dll.mui The line: Edit using Resource Hacker C:\WIndows\System32\locale-LOCALE\shell32.dll.mui (Coopy it to different place, then back, otherwise it will go to SysWOW64)

After I'm done with editing the copied version of shell32.dll.mui, do I just replace it with the original one? |

After you are done editing the copied version, you replace the original shell32.dll.mui in System32\en-US. Make sure you have a backup of the original shell32.dll.mui. You may need ExecTI, RunasTI, or boot to a Windows installation USB (Shift + F10 for command prompt) to replace the original. |

Use xcopy. xcopy /E path\to\modified\shell32.dll.mui C:\Windows\System32\en-US. If on a Windows installation USB, the same command applies, only that your OS drive may be in a different place. |

"File not found - shell32.dll.mui 0 File(s) copied " Do you know where your modified shell32.dll.mui is? If so, the replace the \path\to\modified path with the actual path to your shell32.dll.mui. If it has spaces, put quotes around it. |

Ok, I used the resources and worked. the problem was the command prompt method. The method I used that worked was manually taking ownership to the mui file, rename it to "shell.old.dll.mui", and then move the edited version in.  |
