[question] Resource Identifiers
You could be more specific here - what is it that you are trying to do?
- Resource identifiers vary from app to app.
- You can add new resource identifiers to an exe, but the program
won't use them, so what?
- Google for ResHacker, it gives you the best entry point.
i am working on moding the start menu with reshacker and i need to find the id for sleep, restart, and shut down that will automaticly do those without the pop-up and also woiuld be nice if i would make things like system preferences go to ifidos system preferences rather than xps
HELP
Topic Moved.
This is better suited to Customizing Windows>System File Modifications.

You actually can mod the start menu - www.virtualplastic.net will have some
pointers. If I'm not wrong, the start menu is in shell32.dll or shdocvw.dll.
Try reshacking all sh*.dll in your \Windows\System32 folder, maybe you can find
more interesting things to mod there. Also have a reshack look at your *.cpl files,
perhaps you can mod them so that iFidos app matches OS X preferences better?
You can't let it bypass the popups by altering a resource, I'm afraid. This will
require coding. Perhaps you can do a WindowBlinds theme instead and link it
to shutdown.exe?
Redirecting the system preferences also requires coding of a shell extension,
which is tough stuff - sorry.
I think you missed his point 
The start menu is located in c:\windows\explorer.exe menu 204.
Each menu item in the start menu has a certain code that coresponds
to some system function (Shut down, reset sleep etc.). Nillinu was
asking if any1 can post a list of those codes and their functions. Also,
if it is possible to link the codes to verious files or apps on the disk.
Now I understand the error in your ways.
A short explanation of menus and what they actually do:
A menu sends, when clicked, a number to its attached window. In explorer,
some pseudo-code like this exists:
number = fetchNextNumberOf(thiswindow)
if number = 1 then show popup "shutdown"
else if number = 2 then show popup "execute"
else if number = 3 then show popup "logoff"
...
end if
this being said it should be clear that noone at MS has ever implemented a hidden
if number = 999 then "shutdown without popup" without adding it to the menu
and its absolutely fruitless to seek for these. Also, linking a menu number to
any other app would require to alter the explorer code, which you & me don't
have.

PS: You 2, please get a book named "Programming Windows" by Charles Petzold,
ISBN 1-57231-995-X, older / localized versions from a "flea market" should be
also available for pennies worldwide or just enter the next public library.
will look into thanks!
