How can I change the "OK" text into "Great!" on all buttons in Windows 7's dialog windows?

+2  A: 

The MessageBox function is documented as being in User32.dll. Modify that and you should be set.

A couple of caveats:

  • This is an important system DLL and Microsoft will have gone to some lengths to keep it from being modified. Not only will you have trouble modifying it, but if you succeed Windows might restore it from a backup as soon as it can.
  • If you screw up you might make your system unbootable.
  • If I ever find you doing this to any PC of mine, prepare to hide and hide well, because I will be looking for you.
