Thanks! But that's not what im looking for. Cause I don't want to include all the icons from the pack i mention. Just some of them.

I'm not familiar with reshacking shell32.dll but have a feeling that's what I need to do.

you should modify shell32.dll file using reshacker OR anyother resource editor......then find your specific icon to change in shell32.dll ..replace it with your icon....you have done!!!!...

if you want to apply all the icons on your customization pack....then it will be so hard to modify your shell32.dll file...caz it will take so much time to be modified...so just do one thing....1st install that customization pack into your current system.....then after applying it..copy your current shell32.dll file from SYSTEM32 directory....and apply modifype & makecab on it!!!

But how do I install the "pack" when its only a bag of .ico files?

if u just have .ICO files...then u have to edit shell32.dll file!!!

shell32.dll is the main source of system icons....just copy that file from SYSTEM32....another source of icons is EXPLORER.EXE which is in WINDOWS directory ( explorer.exe contains icons of DESKTOP items like MY COMPUTER, MY NETWORK PLACES etc...while SHELL32.DLL contains icons for rest of all )

so just copy these both files after applying your pack....then modifype & makecab on it!!! and replace these both files with older one in your unattended windows cd's I386 Directory!!

You have done now

ummm...i think u should use any ICONS related software to change your current system icons...it iwll modify your SHELL32.DLL...then you can copy modified SHELL32.DLL !!!
