Description
I have uploaded a bitmap for you. Be careful to mod the shell32.dll as it is the most sensitive dll of the system. So even after modding and replacing you should open it and check it up that all the resources are working and intact or not.

CODE Code Updated!

1003 DIALOGEX 0, 0, 274, 120
STYLE DS_FIXEDSYS | DS_MODALFRAME | DS_NOIDLEMSG | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU

The script here is eay to understand. Though my upcoming book on resource hacking will explain these commnands in detail, users should know what they are copying/pasting.

You should add a bitmap control under the Bitmap category by the number 4201. This can be done by highlighting Bitmap. Then Goto Actions and Add a New Resource and then choose the bitmap I have given you. Then Add Resorce Name= 4201 and Resource Type= 1033

SCRIPT EXPLANATION:

The first line 1003 DIALOGUEX explains the dialogue Number present in any resource when you open it with resource Hacker. Integers 0,0,274,120 represent the size of the dialogue box. There are four co-ordinates for the dialogue boxes. The last two coordinates represent the width and the height respectively.

Caption represents what should be the heading of the Dialogue Box, You may even change it to your name if you want things to be fancy.

Language is here english as the resources have been taken from an English version of Windows XP.

Font size is represented by the upper and the main code. MS shell dialogue is the Microsoft Shell Dialogue and the size of the font that should be displayed within this dialogue is controlled by the MS Shell Dialogue Resource

The second part of the code is also known as the subcode. The language used in it is known as the Sub Language. Curly brackets are used to open the code and close it as well.

Control of the first line COMBOBOX represents that a combox is intended to be made and that its function is a drop down box represented by CBS_DROPDOWN the other controls include
|CBS_AUTOHSCROLL | CBS_DISABLENOSCROLL which are Combo Box Scroll AutoHScroll and Disable NoScroll these represent that if the amount of commands typed in the Run box exceed a particular limit then a scroll bar is seen otherwise it is a disabled option. | WS_CHILD | is an integral porion in almost all controls of Resource Hacker. | WS_VISIBLE | is again meant for the Visibilty of the controls used in Resource Hacker if this parameter is not specified then the controls may be visible in resource hacker but not when the file is compiled and replaced. Therefor to make a control visible it is necessary to add a | WS_VISIBLE | parameter.

Text specified between the inverted commas after the Control will appear as the text of the control introduced. Generally scripts are easy to understand. BUTTON, BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON| represents the creation of a Push Button where |BS_AUTOCHECKBOX| would have resulted in a check box instead of a push button whereas |BS_RADIOBUTTON| would make a radio button.

As you see that I have added the Bitmap control at the end of the script. This is a trick to make the combo box overlap the bitmap and make it functional. If I would have added the bitmap control at the start of the script the combo box would have been hidden behind the bitmap. Also controls added first are prioritized from the others. As mentioned above to close a script again } bracket is used.
