IE's secret HTML stash..

FYI, check this stuff out:

open up internet explorer and type this into the address:

res://c:\Windows\System32\SHDOCLC.DLL/

http_400.htm, http_404.htm, http_406.htm, http_410.htm, http_500.htm, http_501.htm, http_gen.htm, servbusy.htm, syntax.htm, navcancl.htm, offcancl.htm, policyerror.htm, policylooking.htm, policynone.htm, policysyntaxerror.htm, privacypolicy.dlg, preview.dlg, printerr.htm, printnf.htm, printnof.htm, printunk.htm, wcee.htm, ietext.bmp, ietext256.bmp, world.bmp, world256.gif, ie.gif, ie256.gif, orgfav.dlg, about.dlg, analyze.dlg, bidifind.dlg, docppg.ppg, error.dlg, find.dlg, findic.dlg, ieerror.dlg, imageppg.ppg, orgfav.dlg, and pstemplate.dlg

lots of interesting code there. not to mention the strange HTML namespace <IE:...></IE:...>

The page cannot be displayed

Is it IE7 specific?

I meant this:

res://c:\Windows\System32\SHDOCLC.DLL/    <---include one of the files below at the end of the address:

http_400.htm, http_404.htm, http_406.htm, http_410.htm, http_500.htm, http_501.htm, http_gen.htm, servbusy.htm, syntax.htm, navcancl.htm, offcancl.htm, policyerror.htm, policylooking.htm, policynone.htm, policysyntaxerror.htm, privacypolicy.dlg, preview.dlg, printerr.htm, printnf.htm, printnof.htm, printunk.htm, wcee.htm, ietext.bmp, ietext256.bmp, world.bmp, world256.gif, ie.gif, ie256.gif, orgfav.dlg, about.dlg, analyze.dlg, bidifind.dlg, docppg.ppg, error.dlg, find.dlg, findic.dlg, ieerror.dlg, imageppg.ppg, orgfav.dlg, and pstemplate.dlg

for example:

res://c:\Windows\System32\SHDOCLC.DLL/orgfav.dlg

Oops...man I'm slow today.

I tired to use resource hacker to find these pages in SHDOCLC.DLL but I couldn't find them....Is there a way to edit these built-in error pages?

Probably not without recompiling the original .dll

Hmm, I think this no longer works for IE8

do you know if it works with firefox

The question doesn't make sense since the development of the two browsers is completely different. If you want to play around with FireFox, you can type in any of the following into your browser address bar:

about:
about:cache
about:plugins
about:blank
about:mozilla
about:buildconfig
about:crashes
about:credits
about:logo
about:license
about:mozilla
about:plugins
about:robots
about:neterror
about:privatebrowsing
about:sessionrestore

Also, unlike other browsers, you can freely find and edit these files.

oh ok I get it
