I, too, have been tinkering with shell32.dll. It would be a very simple process
of replacing the the AVI files with a static image, or even your own creation. The
problem is replacing the current version of shell32.dll, which is in use from the
moment Windows starts.
Here are some Ideas:
If you have winXP on a FAT partition, you MIGHT be able to use DOS to copy the new
file over.
If windows is on an NTFS partition, you would need to
boot to the recovery console to access the file outside of the operating system.
Again, I have tested neither of these methods. If anyone succeeds, please let me
know.

Just a little addition to what I noted previously: it is possible to replace the
current version of the shell32.dll file if the system is booted into Safe Mode with
Command Prompt. You will need to rename the current file (DO NOT DELETE) and copy
over your modified version.

go to http://bome.com/Restorator/ to get a copy of restorator, its a resource hacker.
you can open up shell.dll from the system32 directory and there a re a lot of those
animations in the avi directory. this is the best program to do so, i blieve, because
you can view and edit many types of files resources and you dont need backup, just
save of the file your editing, and it creates a backup of the previous copy. sometimes
though if a file is being used you need to use a tool provided in the program to
save it and next time windows starts it automatically replaces the old file with
the new, its great check it!

There is windows 2000 resource kit file that will replace files like shell32.dll
or other locked files I forget the name so sorry, but I remember seeing it mention
on a tip about winxp at members.aol/axcel216.
what it really does is automatically replaces the file on next boot. This
is much easier then going throught the recovery console or booting to a command line.

To replace shell32.dll, or any other protected file, Google for and download an app
called "Replacer.cmd". It will do the rest. If anyone wants, I can email screenshots
of my Windows XP machine tricked out to look like Vista, shell32dll and all.

No need to do use any such application. Can do it all manually in safe mode.
Firstly copy and paste the new file over the backup files that XP keeps tucked away
(use Search to locate these - you only want to replace the CURRENT version of the
particular file). Once you've done this, drag the sys32 copy to a back-up location
HOLDING DOWN THE RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON...on release select "move here". Paste the modified
copy of the file into the system32 folder and reboot.
The only file thus far that I have not been able to safely relpace this was is the
user32.dll - touching that ALWAYS brings on the blue screen of death on reboot!!
