rootsandculture Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 (edited) Hi, i don't know if this is the correct place to ask, but maybe can help me. I want to change de default (OLD) "Downloaded Program Files" icon folder inside windows folder. It's an w2k era icon and want to have a new xp like icon. Is it possible?.Thanks in advance Edited August 20, 2008 by rootsandculture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy-Dude Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 (edited) Hm ... I'm not quite sure, but I believe XPize should be able to attend to this.Have you used the program yet? If you haven't, use the program:Download it from http://www.xpize.net/download.php (here's a screenshots: http://www.xpize.net/screenshots.php)ORuse a popular alternative, like the shell packs listed in this board (like http://www.msfn.org/board/ReleaseVista-Liv...10-t119881.html or even the awesome Darkside: http://xpizedarkside.zedox.co.uk/ )**Use it, and make sure you take note of the changes. If your just testing, make sure you don't change the icon sizes and stuff (since I believe there's a bug in the installer that doesn't revert changes like that).Don't like it? Uninstall it. Changes SHOULD be reverted, more or less (that's why if you're testing, make sure you don't select any visual settings that you might dislike originally).Perhaps if you only need that specific icon, you can ask more knowledgeable users how to extract the specific icon and change it.Have fun !!

That's because i want to change this folder icon "manually". Thanks for your reply Edited August 20, 2008 by rootsandculture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy-Dude Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Perhaps you should edit the title and say *Manually extract icon to ...*I dunno, give it a try? Good luck !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rootsandculture Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) This is the "Bad" icon, so isn't a common folder, that any program can replace his icon, it contains activex archives for internet explorer. Any help?. Edited September 10, 2008 by rootsandculture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
