Hello,

I have changed system font sizes on my windows 7 box and fonts look as I
wanted now.
Except two stubborn property sheet dialogs:
1. "Internet Options" property sheet
2. "Taskbar and Start menu properties " property sheet
So I want to make these dialogs a bit wider to fit my font.

Could you please tell me which dll/exe hosts dialog resources for those
dialogs ?
Location on XP machines would also help (maybe similar locations?)

thanks
Vilius

This is a bit off-topic for this newsgroup. You may get better responses
here: http://www.sevenforums.com/customization/

But to answer your question: What I would do is to open the dialog and
find which process is currently displaying it - explorer.exe for
example. Then I would examine the running process with Process Explorer
and view the properties of each loaded module (DLL, EXE, MUI, etc). Open
the Strings tab and search for a specific string that is found on that
dialog. That will give you the module that most likely contains the the
resource you need.

But without looking my primary suspects are explorer.exe.mui,
shell32.dll.mui and browseui.dll.mui.
