My Computer, My documents and Inet Explorer icons are all in shell32.dll. I use ResHack to change the icons - which also means that you'll have to remove Windows File Protection ( try using nlite to do that ). As for Microsoft icons iam not sure - never done that, but heres what i think you could do: I believe that office icons are stored in the .EXE files - so you should actually be able to replace the icons in those .EXE files like you did with the shell32.dll file. Now in my book all you need to do is the copy your "hacked" .EXE over AFTER you install Word, Excel and Publisher. To copy files over - try to search the forum - this can be done with WinRAR sfx files. Let me know if you need more help or links to find the infrmation you need. Pezzie
