Explicit, I personally have done this hack as you know from speaking with me in IRC. I only had to hack ONE file, going by the name of "GoogleNav0.dll".

Here's how you do it. When you load that file into ResHacker, I forgot to tell you in IRC that the bitmap you're looking for is NOT in either the Icon or Bitmap sections of the file.

Instead, it's in the section titled "23" , right up under "Version Info". I no longer have the original file, so I can't remember what entry it is/was, but hit all the plust signs for the entries you see there, and you will see the button bitmap eventually. Delete it, and it's done.

Now, for the DOS replacement, you have to keep in mind that the Windows file name "GoogleNav0.dll" is to long for DOS. So, if you right click the dll file, choose properties, you'll see on the dialog box there that is has a line saying:

"MS-DOS name: GOOGLE~1.DLL"

So, when you go to replace the file in DOS, you'll need to type in:

Let's say you save the hacked dll in the root C:\directory...

copy c:\google~1.dll c:\windows

Hit enter, say yes for the replacement, and you're done.

Oh I forgot about dos names...
I don't have a dll called googlenav0 though? And I checked in the google dlls under 23 for the image and it's not there. But I'll try doing it with the dos name.

Update! Yay! It worked!
