I think if you goto 'My computer' > Tools > Folder options > View Tab then find the bit that says Hidden files and folders and change so it says 'show'
Then I think you will find what your looking for.....as by default they are in hidden folders  :y

OK From what I can gather all the microsoft windows apps use language files for their text, rather than resource files.

IE for multiple languages just change the language file.

And I bet you have guessed I want to correct the spelling :y

Ah with you.....if its as simple as doing that i would have thought using search for the incorrect spelling and set it to search system folders and hidden files/folders  :-/

Can you give an example of an incorrect spelling and the application (tho i suspect it might just be the american spelling)

Basically color and favorites need fixing Microsoft are useless (I have asked) and search doesn't find them.

OK IE6 and start menu.

BTW start menu favourites still works even if you rename the directory!!!!

I've been spoiled with multi lingual compilers - then the writers were mainly British.

Its entirely down to the app itself how (and if) this is done.  In the case of IE, I believe its more complex than some due to the fact IE isn't the browser, but a wrapper for an ActiveX componet that is the browser.  I believe that in IE's case, it is in the exe, although this may have changed in newer versions...
