Tweaking NOTEPAD

Ever thought of tweaking NOTEPAD?? I guess no..!But i gave a try for tweaking NOTEPAD..! n c wat i got.....

Most of us use Notepad for some or the other purpose...some advanced users may do their stuff in NoteTab Pro,etc.
This l'il tweak will remove the hassles of using the menu(which i found to be very irritating while using Find, Replace, etc). It actually removes the menubar!

OK! Before proceeding, BACKUP YOUR NOTEPAD (Its present in %WINDIR%\Notepad.exe)
After dat delete the notepad.exe file frm dllcache(it's a folder created by Windows XP creators to store all the inportant system files as backup)
You can find "dllcache" folder in system32 folder(after unhiding the system files)

Now comes the tweakin process

1] Start Resource Hacker(just google it u will find it.)
2] Open Notepad in it
3] Expand to Menu>1>1033
4] In the right hand side pane, delete all those stuff and paste this:


Code: Select all
1 MENU
LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US
{
MENUITEM "New", 1
MENUITEM "Open", 2
MENUITEM "Save", 3
MENUITEM "Save As...", 4
MENUITEM "Select All ", 25
MENUITEM "Undo", 16
MENUITEM "Cut", 768
MENUITEM "Copy", 769
MENUITEM "Paste", 770
MENUITEM "Delete", 771
MENUITEM "Font", 33
MENUITEM "Find", 22
MENUITEM "Find Next", 22
MENUITEM "Go To", 24
MENUITEM "Replace", 23
MENUITEM "Status Bar", 27
MENUITEM "Wrap", 32
MENUITEM "Time/&Date", 26
}



5] Press "Compile Script".
6] Save it or press Ctrl+S
8] Wait for sometime...Windows will send a error msg kinda thing..jst cancel it..!
9] Run Notepad
10]n dats it! That Menubar is gone and instead every command appears as a button.
