System Icons

[NickSewell]

ive been looking to try to install an icon package into my xp cd.

ive managed to replace a load by adding refrences to my iconlibary in my registry tweaks file and the desktop icons work and a few others. but i cant get drive icons or folder icons to appear. are the folder/drive icons done differently or something. any ideas?

(also a screenshot to show what i mean if its not that clear)

But I doubt if it is the foldericons mentioned here. I don't change system icons regulary

[NickSewell]

i think i replaced the ones you said to, but it still appears no to work.

[SiMoNsAyS]

mmm have u tried iconpacker?

i mean load an ip theme and apply it while monitoring changes with regsnap or regshot f.e. that should give you the propper keys to change.

ps: i remember to read an advice on IP that said something about system icons that can't be changed like start menu icons dunno if it's matters...

[NickSewell]

that is how i did it though. i copyed all the icon related changes from the comparison and changed the path from the iptheme folder to my resources folder. but when ever i use my reg file it misses out the folder/drive etc icons.

but when i use iconpackager it does it fine.

i think its something to do with the icon cache. but i cant work out how to rebuild it withough using something like iconphile/iconpackager to do it. anyone know of a way to do it in a batch file?

[NickSewell]

mskb said to change the system color depth from current to something else and back again to rebuild the cache and it seems to work. anyone know of a way i can do this in a batch file or a way to rebuild it from a batch file.

[gunsmokingman]

Have you thought of using Resource Hacker to add you own Icons

to Shell32.dll and have that install as the default. You Can also do this

to Explorer.exe and myDoc.dll

1\ Hack your file

2\Mkcab the file

3\add the file to your i386 folder

4\continue preparing your unnatennd install cd

[SiMoNsAyS]

@gunsmokingman that's a really i mean a REALLY big work and when would be completed another service pack will come out to f*** you!

@NickSewell i install silently tweakui powertoy and can rebuild the icon cache (800kb or so).

[NickSewell]

i think i will do that simonsays. after if fix everything else it seems to have exploded and all the icons have gone awry but i think it will work ty.
