Anyone know if you can change the Solidworks Image that is used as a back drop when nothing is opened in 2004? I have looked around and couldn't find an image file in the directory that I could change with what I have.
I'd like to change it to the company Logo or my name :-)
that is a good idea! bob z. hopes someone has an idea about this...

Good news: yes, it is possible.
Bad news: no "official" way exists, you have to "hack" one of SolidWorks compiled resources. I did this just out of curiosity, but I recommend NOT to try it unless you really know what you do.
For those who want to try: the bitmap is stored in the file sldresu.dll as bitmap resource 6874. This DLL is language depanded, so look in \jang\english for english SolidWorks. Be sure to make a backup copy of this before trying.
Replace this bitmap in the resource with your own bitmap (again: if you don't know how to replace a resource file I strongly recommened NOT to try this), resave the DLL and your done.
I suspect that you loose the warranty, but I'm not a lawyer. Anyway, before the next patch is applied I would replace it with the orginal file.
Personal opinion: leave it as it is as long as there is no "official" or at least "easy" way to change it.

Well, you have to change the resources within the DLL. Therefor you have to use a tool like "Resource hacker"
