Vista Icons Pack v2.0 Ultimate - System Patch

Patch created by Kudesnick (resource files) and Aero from AeroXP.net (compiling and scripting).

Vista Icons Pack v2.0 Ultimate - System Patch will replace standard Windows XP to Vista icons! It modifys about 70 windows system files, including not necess big icon libraries as Shell32.dll, Netshell.dll and Wmploc.dll and many others. This patch make your Windows Media Player taskbar pane like in Windows Vista.

After installing you can go to Folder Options and change icons for some files, for example change it for PNG-image system file now include icon for this image format (see file ...system32\shimgvw.dll, last icon) or for MSI and MSP (icons for these file types you can find in Shell32.dll). Setup also will install Icon Cache rebuilder and will repair your system files after updating.

No more XP icons!

If you plan to use this patch in transformation pack, then contact with me.

This one will actually REPLACE your system files with alternate versions -- that is, these icons will become "THE DEFAULT WINDOWS ICONS" as opposed to the ones now. The only method of going back is either a) Uninstalling the pack, or b) Re-editing all of the DLLs, EXEs, CPLs etc, replacing them with the default Windows icons.

The one problem I have with these icons is the lack of support for greater-than 48x48 for most icons...I'd really like to have 128x128 icons on the desktop and etc, but I guess I'll just have to manually patch it.

During the install it names a program to type into run to reset your icon cache but I didn't write it down. What is the name of the program?

For those asking, during the install a folder is created named system_backup found in Windows. If you look in it you can see what files have been changed.

I found the way to answer the "Do you have IE6 or IE7 ?" confusing

Thank all of you! For the greate installer thanx to Aero from AeroXP.net

I think you talking about Rebuild.exe

I found the way to answer the "Do you have IE6 or IE7 ?" confusing

Why? Thats just because if you have WIE7 installed you don't need to change icons, they are allready vista-like icons.

All icons in system files are up to 48x because:

1) Windows XP doesn't use icons more than 48x (even you make icons on desktop 128x)

2) The more formats in icon, the more file size is -> the more system file -> the more your processor will be in use

    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.
