    yes.

    the backround bmp and dialog script (control placement / captions) are in shell32.dll

    you'll need reshacker.

    edit: here's the backround bmp from my XP SP2 shell32.dll. if you put him in there, i may do the hack for you. please keep it as bitmap / png.

    here you go!
    http://rapidshare.de/files/6121897/shell32.rar.html

    ---------------------------------
    download / unrar it.

    replace the file in c:\windows\system32\dllcache with this one

    rename the file in c:\windows\system32 to shell32 old.dll

    quickly copy the new file into c:\windows\system32

    windows will complain that you've replaced a system file, tell it that that's what you want (cancel, then yes)

    restart
    ---------------------------------
    here it is in action
