here's what i mean by that: http://img470.imageshack.us/img470/9343/untitled2sc2.jpg

it only happens when i set the icons to large but it's very annoying. how do i make those icons bigger and how do i get rid of the box around them?

Yes! This is really crappy, and ruins it for me to use bigger icons.

Figured it..

Replace this with your original ImageRes.dll in \Windows\System32\

Enjoy.

hi this aint working for me i get the message "you need permission to preform this action" IM THE ADMINISTRATOR!
Vista's security is so up its own ass it even blocks the administrator from doing simple tasks!
if you know how to get past this i would be very greatful as I have another problem where I need permission to delete a folder (Vista has decided to hold on to some faulty drivers and wont let me get rid of them!) but thats for another thread.

Even though you are an admin, you still need to right click on it and click on "Run as admin"

Replacer doesn't appear to work in Vista, even with elevated privalages. I just installed today, so I guess I'm looking for a solution to this... (it is relevent).


Thanks!

Just take ownership of the file you need to replace... Right click > Properties > Security > Advanced...

i just try the file and didnt work, any ideas? i'm using vista ultimate

I have a better idea. and safer then messing with System files.
just download custom icons from deviantart.com

the border only comes when you have icons larger than medium. The program should work as long as you right click and run as administrator. Also, I think there's a thread somewhere in the forum about getting Vista to run admin as if in Xp.

i run as administrator no uac crap and i get ownership of the file before replace it

works fine

I renames the orignal file and replaced it with this one. Works great.
