Hey.
i need to find where a certain resource is stored on the hd. I can find it in the program adn stuf..i need to find the file itlsef....
any ideas on how to do that?
thx

I think you really need to clarify that messy question...

ok. i need to find where a resource is saved on hd. either it is in exe, dll, or a res file. this resource is used in a program. This resource is a dialob box. I can get handle to the window when this resource is used and stuff like that.
how do i pi point where the resource is on teh hd? is it in the .exe file, is it in one of the dll files, or in some totaly other file?
thx

Searching your harddisk for files containing strings related to the dialog box would most likely be a good start, hooking some resource related APIs during the execution of the process might be fun too, not to mention old trusty filemon...

And for the love of f*cking god, proof read your messages at least one half time before pressing the post button...

sure, will profffff read my stuff before i post it....
and the searching the hdes for the files that have a dialog box related string....what program does that?
i got 2 of google, but with my hd(120 gbes), the estimate time left is 8 hours....so they are not too good...any programs that you know are good in this area?
btw, i can't scan specific fodler becuase i donno where all the files go...i know some of them but those are not it.

Howdy,

Go to system internals and get some basic tools.
There is no way that we can tell you where your files are going on your hard drive.

sry for misunderstaning, i was not asking that, i was jsut pointing out that i needed some other tools for searching because the ones i got are inefiencet to search my hd.

YO:

Please pay attention to what Woodmann said. Go to:

Read about the available tools and maybe you will get an idea ( ) that will help you.
