Replace Help n Support (Xp)

So, I never used the Help and Suppot Center in winXP and just got this idea to replace it something other. todo: replace the helpctr.exe with an app you want to run. in C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries\. (your program's name must be helpctr.exe) open shell32.dll in reshacker. go to the menu 215 and find a place where you want to place this;

MENUITEM "your program name", 28785, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED

save shell32.dll and replace it. and whoala, you got a menu item in desktop contextmenu and in the
folders background. clicking on it runs your favorite application. LOL.
i tried it with simple programs like: notepad, wordpad, etc.. It WORKS! maybe works everything. (winamp, reshacker etc..) the only important thing you must copy all the files what your program uses to the "C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries\"!
