Ok, I have been installing 3rd party themes, and some of them come with extra system files (ie shell32.dll, explorer.exe, imagesres.dll, explorerframe.dll etc)..

The last time I was doing this, I used Restorator to change Win XP icons in shell32, explorer, and mydocs.dll -- just dragged and dropped.. simple.

Ok, I'm running Windows 7 x64, and I'm quite confused as to what file I need to change that would be the equivalent to WindowsXP shell32.dll (you change those and everything changes - ALL files types, drive icons, desktop icons, etc). Is it imageres.dll, and do I need to worry about keeping the changes consistent with shell32.dll (do I need to change them at all in shell32)? Will dragging and dropping in Restorator work like it did for me in XP?

Any help is much appreciated!

lol, ok well if asnyone else was curious, I figured something out that proved *extremely* beneficial:

taken from here..

in "System32" you have the x64 files ---> [b]main x64 system files[/b]
in "SysWOW64" you have the x86 files ---> [b]dependencies for the 32bit processes[/b] running on your Windows x64.
