own icons

[t-bullet]

How can i insert my own icons in my unattended install of windows xp sp2 pro?

I've downloaded an edited shell32.dll with nice icons and switched it to test it on my own os.

But it was a shell32 from a english version of windows and everything crashed.

(my version is dutch)

I can't change the icons manually with resedit because that would take years.

Pls can some1 help me?

thanks

The Only Way Would be To Hope Some One Have A Dutch Version

As To Changing The Icons.

You Only Change The icons in the Icons Group Folder And Not The

Icon Folder.

me being offtopic: Interesting, where did you downloaded it.

You would need a "shell32.dll" in dutch with your icons inside then just replace the file on your cd or make one yourself with the icons which you said will take years .

So i can't change them..

too bad...

Isn't there a cache for the windows icons that i can change?

I don't want to use stylexp because it slows the system down.

But it would be great if someone would make software that can change the icons in your own shell32.dll

It is possible i think...

But i can't do it :-)

this is what i would do...

grab restorator2004 (shareware) it lets you grab multiple resources at the same time and import them on another archive:

export>all of this type

assign>autoasign

you'll find this easy after a few tries.

then grab modifype and finally makecab the file (you'll find interesting this link)

Here A Tut I On How To Change Windows Icons

Give It A Read And You Will See It Not To Hard To Change The Icons.

Use batchmod, it's free, fast and easy to use.

I would Not Trust a Script to replace 200 icons or do menu modification or string replacements.

You Can Use Script For Resource Hacker. I have attempted this before and found

it to be not to good. Missing Icon Messed Up menus and no string replacement.
