change icons thru a reg tweak?

[ripken204]

i am going thru that hugh reg tweak file and found this:

;----- Change Recycle Bin Icons
 ;----- The icons must be in the $$ folder directly for unattend install.
 ;----- If you use this after an install then the Bmp file must be under windows folder
 ;-----
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\DefaultIcon]
@="%WinDir%\\system32\\shell32.dll,31"
"Full"="%WinDir%\\system32\\shell32.dll,32"
"Empty"="%WinDir%\\system32\\shell32.dll,31"

it allows u to change the recycle bin icons thru a reg tweak, does this mean that you can change any icon as long as u know what icon # it is?

well i have this set a new icon for my c:\ drive , the icon is in $oem$\$$\

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\C\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\Windows\\windisk.ico"

So i guess the same method should work for all icons if you can find the regsitry entry

I went through a while back & have used this way to add the icons & info to my reg tweaks so they are auto replaced on install.. Also if u do it this way, then most things cannot over rite them.
