Guys!

I always wondered why "VIEW" menu is not displayed on desktop, its displayed in each folder but not on desktop. I wanted to enable it on desktop so that I can set the desktop icons view, like Thumbnails, Small Icons, List, etc. Thats why one day I was playing with Shell32.dll file in Resource Hacker and found a way to enable it on desktop too after a few hours r&d.

So here we go:




1.) Open %windir%\System32\Shell32.dll file in Resource Hacker.
2.) Goto: Menu -> 215 -> 1033.
3.) In right-side pane, replace the line saying:

POPUP "&View", 28674, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED, 0

to:


POPUP "&View", 0, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED, 0

i.e., U hv to only change the ID 28674 to 0. It can also be done by deleting the text after "&View" and after compilation RH will automatically add the remaining part.

4.) Now click on Compile Script button and save the file.

Now after restarting the PC, u'll see the VIEW menu on desktop and it'll work too w/o any problem.
