          Edit the exe in a resource editor. VS can do this. Open it as resources, and do what you want to it.

              No, open it in a resource editor, like VS. Each exe has a resources section that contains strings, version, icons, bitmaps, all sorts of crap. This is freely editable after the exe is compiiled.

                  You have been treated very nicely in the Lounge up till now. Lounge is not for programming questions. That's what it says at the top in Big Red font when you try to post a question here. Ask programming question in Questions and Answers Section of the site.Link here.[^]

                    So the only area you are allowed to go to at all is the lounge? Are the forums here blocked? What about the Questions & Answers sections? Well, that's one tough set of restrictions you've got going on there.

                          Put your head in a bucket of boiling oil, that should help.

                              Lesson learned hopefully. There's a big hunk of text at the top in a very bold font telling you not to post programming questions here in the lounge. This is where we come to get away from programming, or in Dalek Dave's case, to talk to real programmers and not Excel monkeys ;) .

                                        There's nothing sounds worse than a middle-aged English white man saying dude. If I ever was a dude, that probably passed over 20 years ago.

                                          So the only area you are allowed to go to at all is the lounge? Are the forums here blocked? What about the Questions & Answers sections? Well, that's one tough set of restrictions you've got going on there.
