epic Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 What is the default default icon for Windows 8? Somehow the default icon was changed while changing other system icons without changing the default icon.
xpclient Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 The default icon is the icon Windows shows for a file not associated with any program.
Aloha Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 If you don't install or apply any other icon packs then all the icons on your Windows are default icons!
epic Posted April 5, 2014 Author Posted April 5, 2014 There is a default default icon, but unable to locate it.The default default icon is an icon that doesn't have any file association. It's either blank or something else.
xpclient Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) The default icon is the first icon in shell32.dll and it can be changed by going to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Icons in the registry. Create a string value called 0 there and the value data should be the path of the icon, e.g. C:\Windows\Notepad.exe,1. Then send a shell change notification to force Explorer to rebuild its shell image list or restart Windows. Edited April 5, 2014 by xpclient
