RainyShadow Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 (edited) You are asking about the icon named "The Internet" right?simple registry search reveals this:[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{3DC7A020-0ACD-11CF-A9BB-00AA004AE837}]@="The Internet"[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{3DC7A020-0ACD-11CF-A9BB-00AA004AE837}\ShellFolder]"Attributes"=hex:50,00,00,a4[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{3DC7A020-0ACD-11CF-A9BB-00AA004AE837}\InProcServer32]@="C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM\\SHDOCVW.DLL""ThreadingModel"="Apartment"[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{3DC7A020-0ACD-11CF-A9BB-00AA004AE837}\DefaultIcon]@="C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM\\mshtml.dll,0"I checked the file in Irfanview and it definitely contains the IE icon.

Targaff Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 And isn't it easier just to change that DefaultIcon registry entry rather than reshack the library? I seem to remember that worked fine for me the one time I tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDGx Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 (edited) This is the registry value responsible for the desktop IE icon on my computer [Win98 SE]:[HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Classes\CLSID\{FBF23B42-E3F0-101B-8488-00AA003E56F8}\DefaultIcon]@="C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM\\SHDOCLC.DLL,0"Of course, it can be changed to any other icon u wish:[HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Classes\CLSID\{FBF23B42-E3F0-101B-8488-00AA003E56F8}\DefaultIcon]@="C:\\ICONS\\SMILIES.DLL,7"Just remember, the 1st icon in a DLL/EXE/ICL file is always number 0 [zero] if more than 1.The count goes down following vertical columns, which you can see when you change an icon to a shortcut.ICO files contain only 1 viewable icon [at a time] even if they may actually contain more than 1, the others (if any) are of different number of colors +/- resolutions.HTH Edited May 30, 2006 by MDGx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
