Why can't we just replace the 0 in :
filetopump.WriteByte(0)
to the desired value ?

Hmm it used to work perfectly then when I used a new theme and replaced the textbox1.text with ghosttextbox1.text and all that it worked, no problems debugging but when I save it to the desktop it doesnt increase the file size :S?

Very nice tool, although their are some simple things in the code that could create issues at run time.
Always make sure the user has chosen a file when using save / open file dialogs.
The way to do that in C# would be
Code
SaveFileDialog sfd = new SaveFileDialog();
if(sfd.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK){
// Handle the selected file here
}Also, when using Streams, it is good practice to use the 'Using' statement, as it clears all resources used by the stream automatically.
Code
using(var fs = File.OpenWrite(filepath)){
//Use the stream in this block of code
} // Resources used by the stream will be clearedAlso, you may want to use a background worker to write large amounts of data to a file, or your Application may become unresponsive.
That code can easily be converted to VB.
And i understand that this may have just been a quick tutorial, this was for the Copy / Pasters in here.

Great tutorial! Worked good for me. But I have a problem, when I open the pumped file, it says "rtl120.bpl" needed (I pumped the TuneUp-Utilities2013 shortcut to 10 MB)
