Wait Curser fix, custom taskbar, other neat stuff

Here is some neat little eyecandy I have worked up:

The first is the welcomehead (the picture while windows is loading), just use a program like Total Commander and overwrite welcomhead.128 into your \Windows\ folder, then on reset you will see it instead of the default 6.5 or 6.1 screen.

Next is shellres.128.dll, in it is several images tied to the taskbar. I changed the Start Menu icon, X button icon, OK button icon and battery images as well as a few other small things.

** But the most important thing is I deleted the wait curser files so the wait curser will no longer display! No need to run a 3ed party app to make it go away!!! This saves a bit of system and memory use!!!**

Also any of the icon images can be modified with this software:

Run it on your desktop and you can change the icons to more fancy ones or whatever using a image editing software like GIMP. They are .ico images.

Just overwrite the shellres.128 to your \Windows\ folder and soft reset then they will display the new icons.

Note: I left the Icon images basicaly stock just made them colors instead of all white.

Have fun, just trying to get the Treo Pro a little help!
