ResHacking - NotePad
|
Before we begin, I have to say that this is probably one of the easiest things you can do. Because it has only one single menu. So there is almost no way to mess up. You can get so creative with this, because it accepts alot of script. So im submitting this incase you didnt know or you didnt know where to look or how to edit it all. Now lets begin.
----
If you dont have ResHacker by now, you should definatly go find it in google.
Open up reshacker and press file - open. Look in C:/WINDOWS/notepad.exe , thats the WINDOWS folder of your computer. In case you can never find the right file, always do a find all files and folders search. The files that we need to edit are in the WINDOWS folder and the SYSTEM32 folder. We need to edit NOTEPAD.EXE. You can find them in both of those folders, remember, if you do not edit BOTH of these files it PROBABLY WILL NOT WORK!
--
Now once you have opened one of the two files, you need to go to MENU - 1 .. .. There is only one menu, thats why its so simple. What I did is edited the title which is under::
{
POPUP "&File"
{
I replaced this with this information::
{
POPUP "&//AllCommands//"
{
--
So now instead of FILE you will have //AllCommands// at the menu.. You can even delete all of the menu's if you would like, but then this is hard if you dont know any of the key commands.
--
Now what I did is actually took all of the other menu items and dropped them into one. So heres what the final MENU - 1 will look like::
1 MENU
LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US
{
POPUP "&//AllCommands//"
{
MENUITEM "&New\tCtrl+N", 1
MENUITEM "&Open...\tCtrl+O", 2
MENUITEM "&Save\tCtrl+S", 3
MENUITEM "Save &As...", 4
MENUITEM SEPARATOR
MENUITEM "Page Set&up...", 5
MENUITEM "&Print...\tCtrl+P", 6
MENUITEM SEPARATOR
MENUITEM "E&xit", 7
MENUITEM "&Undo\tCtrl+Z", 16
MENUITEM SEPARATOR
MENUITEM "Cu&t\tCtrl+X", 768, GRAYED
MENUITEM "&Copy\tCtrl+C", 769, GRAYED
MENUITEM "&Paste\tCtrl+V", 770, GRAYED
MENUITEM "De&lete\tDel", 771, GRAYED
MENUITEM SEPARATOR
MENUITEM "&Find...\tCtrl+F", 21
MENUITEM "Find &Next\tF3", 22
MENUITEM "&Replace...\tCtrl+H", 23
MENUITEM "&Go To...\tCtrl+G", 24
MENUITEM SEPARATOR
MENUITEM "Select &All\tCtrl+A", 25
MENUITEM "Time/&Date\tF5", 26
MENUITEM "&Word Wrap", 32
MENUITEM "&Font...", 33
MENUITEM "&Status Bar", 27
MENUITEM "&Help Topics", 64
MENUITEM SEPARATOR
MENUITEM "&About Notepad", 65
}
}
You can use that if you want to be simple. Now this is very simple and for the beginner, but everyone who has done things like this before knows that you can get VERY VERY creative with notepad. Like, adding new icons, new notepad.exe names and every little thing, here is an image of what I have done with mine, very simple, sleek, but yet still customized.
