@Gary

I did a quick search on google to check for a solution for you bud, and i think i found it here:

Approx. all Windows 7 system icons -> %windir%\System32\imageres.dll
Yellow Shield icon -> %windir%\System32\imageres.dll
Login Screen Background -> %windir%\System32\imageres.dll
Login Screen image resources -> %windir%\System32\authui.dll
Startup Sound -> %windir%\System32\imageres.dll
Start ORB images -> %windir%\Explorer.exe -> Bitmap -> 6801 - 6812
Windows Version Image in "About Windows" dialog box -> %windir%\Branding\Basebrd\basebrd.dll
Windows Version Image in bottom of Login Screen -> %windir%\Branding\Basebrd\basebrd.dll
Control Panel Left Sidebar Image -> %windir%\System32\Shell32.dll -> Bitmap -> 632 & 633
Getting Started (aka Welcome Center) Images -> %windir%\System32\oobefldr.dll
Laptop Battery Meter image resources -> %windir%\System32\batmeter.dll
Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) Resources -> %windir%\System32\ieframe.dll
Windows Media Player 12 (WMP12) Resources -> %windir%\System32\wmploc.dll


Above mentioned system files/locations are new to Windows 7 and were not present in earlier Windows versions, like XP. If you want to change look of other menus, dialog boxes like
RUN, Progress, System Properties, Start menu, Taskbar Properties, etc, you'll have to edit some other system files which you needed to edit in Windows XP. But there is a little
difference, now those files don't contain the resources but their .MUI files do.
For example in Windows XP, RUN dialog box resources were present in "%windir%\System32\Shell32.dll" file but in Windows 7, the resources are present in "%windir%\System32\en-US\Shell32.dll.mui" file.


All these .MUI files are present in any of following 2 locations:


%windir%\en-US\
%windir%\System32\en-US\


All these file names and resource locations are same in Windows XP, Vista and 7.
NOTE: After modifying and replacing .MUI files, you'll need to run mcbuilder command to see the desired changes. Do as following:
1. Click on "Start button -> All Programs -> Accessories". Right-click on "Command Prompt" and select "Run As Administrator". If you are prompted to enter password, enter the
password and continue. You can also open Command Prompt in Administrator mode by typing "cmd" in Start Menu Search box and press "Ctrl+Shift+Enter".
2. Now type mcbuilder and press Enter. Wait for a few seconds to finish the command process and then restart your system.

I found all this at this site if someone wanna check it out, pretty neet site :)

To remove that MUI side images follow these steps:

1. Go to: C:\Windows\System32\en-us
2. In that folder find this file: mmsys.cpl.
3. Now just replace him with default one and that's it.

However,even you still see images,then you need to do this:
After restarting your PC in Start Menu search type C:\Windows\rescache and delete all files in that folder.(If you can't delete them use unlocker)

I hope you did everything right,I mean renamed mmsys.cpl to something different after that put default mmsys.cpl.Also try deleting all necessary mmsys.cpl.
Well I can't help you anymore,if you still have problem0 I really don't know then...

All is OK, I restored an image that I made earlier today. Now everything works. Question though. If I download and install Hammerjack's MUI's will they overwrite the ones I have now??

To remove that MUI side images follow these steps:

Ding - Ding - Ding -Ding ...... You get the prize.
This is the correct location for the .mui file that contains the resources for the Sounds side images..

I tried this and now it just does nothing when I click on sounds.

If you got nothing when you click on 'Sounds', that means you did not put another .mui back in place when you removed the modded one.

Question though. If I download and install HammerJack's MUI's will they overwrite the ones I have now??

If you run the installer a 2nd time - YES.... But then you will have 2 sets of backups.
So if you ran the installer the 1st time, why not run the 'Restore.exe' that came with it before you install the next time???

The original MUI images are from HUD and not From yours. I have everything working and I tried installing yours via the directions and they did not overwrite Hud's. I am stuck with these but it is not a big deal. The Hud ones did not come with a restore feature. Ding-Ding-Dong---
