Change The "Shutting Down" text in Windows

Aren't u bored of the usual "Shutting Down" text message that gets displayed while your windows shuts down...
Don't know about others...But we are indeed...
So..this is what you can do...
























here's how you change it... 

Step 1. Download the latest version of Resource Hacker and install it.
Step 2. Navigate to the following path from the Windows 7 explorer:
C: > Windows > System32 > en-US > wininit.exe.mui.
 Note: You are going to edit the file wininit.exe.mui. As it is a system file, Windows 7 will not allow to modify it without taking the ownership.

 * To take the ownership of a file from the context menu download the Reg file from the following link, extract the archive and double click on the file Add_Take_Ownership and click merge. 


 





















  



Step 4. Close the window and run the Resource Hacker as administrator by right-clicking on the shortcut from Start > All programs > Resource Hacker > Resource Hacker and choosing “Run as administrator” (click on “Yes” if the User Account Control message appears).







































Step 5. In the Resource Hacker window click File > Open

 






















and select the folder
C: > Windows > System32 > en-US
from the drop-down menu, labeled as “Look in:”. Change the file types to All files(*.*)

 





















and select wininit.exe.mui then click Open.


















 


Step 6. Expand String Table then 63 and click on 1033.


















 


Step 7. At the 1002 location of the right pane, change the text “Shutting down…” to “Good bye…” or some thing that you want to show.




















Step 8: Click on “Compile Script”.
Step 9. Save the changes by clicking File > Save.
















 


Restart your PC to see the changed text...
Cheers :)
