Tutorial: How To Enable "view" Menu On Desktop !

Hi Guys!

I always wondered why "VIEW" menu is not displayed on desktop, its displayed in each folder but not on desktop.

I wanted to enable it on desktop so that I can set the desktop icons view, like Thumbnails, Small Icons, List, etc.

Thats why yesterday I was playing with Shell32.dll file in Resource Hacker and found a way to enable it on desktop too after 2 hours r&d.

So here we go:

1.) Open Shell32.dll file in Resource Hacker.
2.) Goto: Menu -> 215 -> 1033.
3.) In right-side pane, replace the line saying:

CODE
POPUP "&View", 28674, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED, 0

to


CODE
POPUP "&View", 0, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED, 0


i.e., U hv to only change the ID 28674 to 0. It can also be done by deleteing the text after "&View" and after compilation RH will automatically add the remaining part.

4.) Now click on Compile Script button and save the file.

Now after restarting the PC, u'll see the VIEW menu on desktop and it'll work too w/o ne problem..

i hope u like the tutorial and contact me for any clarification

Hi, I got the Resource Hacker but now I am not sure about where I can find the Shell32.dll.

Can you give the specific path which is common? (most people will have it there)
