removing status bar...

hi,i have 2 questions,
1)i want to remove the status bar ,as it shows the number of objects inside a folder along with the hidden ones...

Click to expand...

1)Click Start, and then click My Computer.
2)On the View menu, click Status Bar.

2)also wen u press "ctrl+a" u would get a select alldialog box that asks to enable viewing of hidden files from folder options in control panel.
the picture of the dialog box is attached below..
i dont want this warning.

Click to expand...

Go to folder options and click View tab and then check Show hidden files and folders

I can understand, u hv hidden some files/folders and want to make sure that no body knows about it. Thats why u want to remove "Statusbar" and the message.

1. Tech genius has already told u about hiding Statusbar.
2. U can't disable that message box, since its in coding of shell. But u can change the message to ur own custom message, like "congratulations! All files have been selected. Now u can perform the desired operation".

Thats what, I hv changed in my system.

U can do it as following:

1. Open "%windir%\System32\Shell32.dll" file in Resource Hacker.
2. goto String Table -> 261 -> 1033.
3. Now change the text in 4170 line to ur desired text. (keep the quotes).
4. Click on "Compile Script" button and save the file.

PS: Since its a system file, u'll not be able to save the changes, so save it at some other location and then use "Replacer" to replace the file in "System32" folder and "%windir%\System32\DLLcache" folder. OR u can disable WFP service using WFP patcher. Both things can be find here:
