im working on a screen saver program. after you build the screen saver exe. just under is the companies name and logo of the program used to create the exe. i want to remove this info. how do i do this......can any one help me. im very new to this but am very interested in learning and would apreciate any help that is offered........

Hi

The name and logo could be generated/handled in a number of different ways, it's hard to give a definitive answer.

Part of it might be a bitmap which is placed into a "holder". You might be able to delete the bmp resource, but you're left with the "holder" (i.e. a disabled edit box).

Part of it might be static text, written as standard text, or in a more formatted form made with the API DrawText.

You could start by viewing the resources with ResHack to see if they exist in a format you can modify with that resource editor utility. Look for bitmaps/icons and string resources.

At some point you will also need to disassemble the exe in IDA (most recommended, freeware version available) because you'll no doubt have to modify the code areas which produce the info you don't want displayed.

Start by seeing if you can find where the resources exist and how they are produced, then come back if you have further questions.
