Internet Explorer fetches its icons and Gifs from a DLL file that is associated with explorer.exe. The dll file that is required for the Background script processing of Internet Explorer is “shdoclc.dll” and is located in “C:\windows\system32\shdoclc.dll” Here are few thing i found out, when exploring the MS-IE. I have opened up the Dll file (shdoclc.dll),analyzed it and found some interesting stuffs, that would be really helpful for Browser Developers and Novice Hackers who want to play pranks with Newbies. Note : This applies and works only on IE. As everyone Knows about:blank is used to set the page Blank, likewise there are few other resources that are available for IE and can be fetched from the shdoclc.dll. IE Fetches all the error codes as well as scripts and messages from shdoclc.dll, Say If you are getting an error stating “HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden”, this message too is fetched from the shdoclc.dll, so what happens here incase of “Error 403 - Forbidden ” is that it will contact the “http_403.htm” file located in the dll, where you can access this manually just by typing the given URL in the address bar and hit enter. res://shdoclc.dll/http_403.htm Likewise it has error message and stuffs realted to the background processing of IE and here it is indexed below, just explore it and have fun…… Here you can Find the Icon and some Image files,

If you have your own Domain, you can trick the Hackers who try to access your Admin Login Page. Most of the Novice Hackers would try to access the admin login page by trying www.site.com/admin, so instead of real Login you can place a fake HTML page admin.html that contains a Link that says “Admin Login” and you can use the Anchor tag to link to the “res://shdoclc.dll/http_403.htm“, so that you can customize you error page easily without start designing from the scratch. Try this just by copying and pasting it in the address bar of IE and hit enter to have fun with Internet Explorer.
