1.	Solve : How can I remove an ugly image in an EXE file??
Answer» Thee is a free ISO burner PROGRAM I like to use. But I don't like the ugly little image that looks like a DEMON child. Can I remove / replace r it? (Don't tell me to use white out. I heard that one already. I am not that dumb.) I don't have the source code, I don't even know how it was written. It is a simple EXE file that runs in Windows with no option to remove the ugly little icon in the upper left. I don't mean a shortcut icon; that I have done before. It would seem impossible, but on another forum somebody asked almost the same question and were told to use resource hacker. I did find it and downloaded it. But before I do anything, I want to ask: Has anybody done this? Can your replace a small image embedded in a form of an n EXE file? Anybody?

It depends entirely on how the image was added to the program. usually you can. With Resource hacker, you should be ABLE to find the bitmap in the resources. If so, you can safely replace it. I've used Resource Hacker to hack dialogs in a few applications. for example, I found Visual Basic 6's References and Components dialogs to be annoying small. So I opened VB6.EXE in resource hacker and simply made them larger. I also added a Common Controls manifest so it would use Visual Styles. Again THOUGH, this depends entirely on how the Application was written. I could be more specific if you provide the Application Name.Wow, you did that to VB6! ISO Image Burner 1.1 is the file I want to change. It is on softpedia and other places. http://www.softpedia.com/get/CD-DVD-Tools/Data-CD-DVD-Burning/ISO-Image-Burner.shtml Below are the child I don't want. And the bird I do want. [recovering disk space, attachment deleted by admin]It's written in Delphi. it doesn't look like it has the image as a resource, so you cannot remove it that way. However, opening it in resource hacker, it does jave a RCDATA\TIMAGEFORM resource. That has a entry that appears to set a picture. It is however a set of HEX digits, so if you want your image you'd probably need to replace it with the appropriate Hex for it. I did so and it no longer has the image. Thank you BC. I will enjoy planning with it. Quote from: Geek-9pm on August 23, 2013, 10:58:16 PM Thank you BC. I will enjoy planning with it. You can't miss the entry- it takes up about 99% of the resource.
