hey all, curious on how to change these icons

1. My Videos: seems that it is the least customizeable of the three (My Pictures, My Music, My Videos) is it possible to change the icons on this?

2. changing removable disk icons. I have a USB media card reader, and would like to change the disks icons to ones that resemble the different card type (SD, Compactflash, MemoyStick) is it possible?

3. Microsoft Office icons, so many icons made for them, but it doesnt let u change them!

i have Tune Up utilities with Styler 2 if that helps

thanks cya!

Sorry for bumping this old topic, but I also can't seem to change the Microsoft Office 2007 desktop icons. See the attached picture for more info...

Hex edit the .lnk to find the shortcut and reshack the file within.

C:\WINDOWS\Installer\{90120000-0030-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}

Reshack wordicon.exe with the new icons.


OR

just make a new shortcut to %programfiles%\microsoft office\office12\winword.exe and change the icon at your will. Only Microsoft wouldn't link to the exe and make you go through hoops just to run the program *sigh*

I fixed it. I delete that shortcut and made a new one that goes directly to winword.exe, instead of through Office 2007. It works fine now. I'm able to change icons.
