Add Your Name in desktop context menu in Windows XP

This tutorial is about adding your name or anything like for example your name, your girl friends name, or your nick name in the top of the desktop context menu.
It would look like just like this:

requirments:- resource hacker and windows Xp operating system.

Note:- Also if you are getting error “Can’t create file…“, that means you have edited and saved the same file in past and there is a backup file which need to be deleted before saving this file again. Go to the folder containing this file and you’ll see a similar file having “_original” in its name. Delete it and try to save the file in resource hacker.

Tutorial begin

1. Open “%windir%\System32\Shell32.dll” file in resource hacker and

goto:Menu -> 215 -> 10332.

Now add following line:

MENUITEM xyz, 33333, MFT_STRING, MFS_GRAYED MFS_DEFAULT

* just after the :

215 MENUEX

LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US

{POPUP “”, 0, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED, 0

{

3. Replace xyz with any string which you want to add but with quotes. e.g.

MENUITEM “!*~.Charly.~*!”, 33333, MFT_STRING, MFS_GRAYED MFS_DEFAULT

4. Click on “Compile Script” button.

5. Save the file and restart your Windows to see the affects.

BONUS TIP: You can remove “MFS_GRAYED” or “MFS_DEFAULT” or both to have some different look. “MFS_GRAYED” is used to disable the text, if you’ll remove it, your name will look like an enabled item. “MFS_DEFAULT” is used to show the text in Bold, if you’ll remove it, your name will be shown as normal text instead of Bold.
