EXPLANATION:
explorer.exe is the executable file used to start up windows. Steps 1-8 uses Resouce Hacker to change the settings of explorer.exe. In step 8, I told you all to be very carefull so as to not damage the original file. Step 9-14 tells you to edit your registry. I'll not go too much into detail. Steps 9-14 just told your computer to load mywin.exe instead of default explorer.exe. And hence your computer loads your altered explorer.exe which you named as mywin.exe.


HOPE YOU LEARNT SOMETHING NEW!!!!!


PLAY SAFE !!!!!!!
