Any way we could get the new IE icon as well? Is there already a post with it?

Sorry to go off topic, but that's the first screenie of "My Computer" I have seen...

What happened to the nice screenshots showing graphical layouts of space remaining, etc?

How do you insert them into Shell32.dll?

Can someone please provide a brief guide as to how to get these pictures working with XP?

Ah sorry, my bad!

[Mike_Wilson]

they are screenshots of my WINDOWS XP WITH HACKED FILES. Use Resource Hacker to change icons in the file.

There are 256x256 Versions of the icons.

I neither have the time or patience to insert every single Icon into my Shell32. Can you not just provide us with your altered Shell32.dll? Or maybe someone has the time to create an install which changes all the icons - as I have used in the past, I don't fancy faffing about with Icon Packager either.

Yeah, please provide us with a altered Shell32.dll, it'll be much easier and faster

Are they included with these icons?

[TwIzTiD_Juggalo]

glad you fixed the icons that weren't working with that other release.

if i may ask how do you change only 1 hard drive icon? your C drive is different form the others, i can change them all but not just 1 (using microangelo librarian). this seems to be my only problem so far thanks in advance!

Doesn't look like it.

I downloaded Resource Hacker, opened the shell32.dll from the %windows%\system32 folder, and went to the ICON folder, and tried to change ICON 61. If i change it for one of the new icons from Mike_Wilson, it asks me to save it, thats where I have problems. Could someone post some steps on how to do it?

Thanks

To change the drive icon like mine has the flag on my windows drive. I use a registry setting which looks like the following:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\C\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\Documents and Settings\\vistadrive.ico"

All its doing is saying use this icon on this drive, my windows drive is my C:\ drive so the key is C etc. The @ setting is the path of the icon with the flag. Just copy the code above into notepad, change the path to the path of your icon and save it with .reg extension then run it and click yes.
