• MichaS _layout pages and masterpage

  Hi All, I'm a bit confused here. Is it true that modifying the application.master (which I don't want to do) is the only way to change the masterpage for the _layout pages in Sharepoint 2007 In fact changing all the files themselves is not an option either because it's not supported I was told.
