Hello George,

Yeah, I deleted my post. It turned out not to be for that.

Oh alright.

Between the time I posted my question and now.
I've yet to discover how I might change the image.
I do believe, that I've seen someone here change this image, but I can't remember who it was.

That particular image is held inside C:\Windows\Branding\ShellBrd\ShellBrd.dll. You'll have to hack the .dll to change it.

Thanks Bree.
I was able to extract the bitmap files.
From the location you mentioned, but don't know how to go about "hacking" the .dll file.

Resource Hacker

Also George, be sure to save copies of the changed files somewhere, because after windows version upgrades(1809 to 1903 for example) and after running sfc /scannow the .dll will be changed back to default picture.

Thanks Cliff!
Definitely going to keep a copy of the files for later use.

I downloaded Resource Hacker.
I'm still not exactly sure how to proceed.
Are you telling me, that I can replace the one windows bitmap image, inside the .dll file.
Using Resource Hacker, with my own bitmap image?

Yep, but @Edwin has used it more than me, and is pretty proficient at it.

Perhaps @Edwin will chime in on this and offer up a few pointers, or a "how to".
Thanks again Cliff.

Haven't done this in a while, let me give it a whirl...

Edwin!
Take your time.
I'm not in a rush and thanks for showing up.
