OK... here is what I've fixed in this GANT shell suit...

1) Change the throbber with GANT icon.

2) Fix find folder as the icon for music folder.

3) Fix ! icon when try to empty the Recycle bin (change ! icon to Trash full icon).

4) Fix"Up One Level" and "Views" button (in small icons) have some weird artifacts.

5) Add GANT icon in this files (most common) :

- explorer.exe

- iexplore.exe

- SHDOCVW.DLL

- mydocs.dll

- zipfldr.dll

*** I've decided not to replace GANT icons in every single file that need because the Zip file will be too big and you can do those youself very easy.

Please let me know anyother error by this Friday. If there is no error report then I will release it in this Friday.

Thanks,

sweet! i can't wait.

GANT Shell32 XP SP1 V1.2 (3.66MB)

Edited by Kasteo
Well, it should be there if you have SP1 installed.

If he has a win xp with a sp1 preinstalled, this directory isnt :p

Ah! No wonder! Learnt something new today. So a WinXP with SP1 preinstalled would have the Dllcache folder right?

yeah I have the dllcache folder but the shell32.dll file isn't in it, should I still put it there?

No, the idea is to rename or delete the file that's in that folder. If you don't have shell32.dll in that folder, just leave it as is.

    • New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues by Taras Buria Another bug-fixing update is available for PowerToys version 0.100. After releasing version 0.100.1 with a bunch of bug fixes and patches, Microsoft pushed version 0.100.2 to address two important issues with one of Command Palette Dock's features. With PowerToys 0.100.2, Microsoft fixed the performance meter displaying incorrect values and memory leaks, which are particularly unwanted things in the current situation with overpriced PC hardware. Here is the changelog: Reverted a Performance Monitor dock refresh change that forced item refreshes on every metric update Fixed a memory leak in the Performance Monitor dock extension by reusing stable network upload/download band items instead of creating new list items on each refresh For those unfamiliar, Command Palette Dock is a relatively new addition to PowerToys. It is a taskbar-like tool that you can keep on top of the screen to pin various useful widgets, commands, and more. It can display time, weather, your PC's performance metrics, and more. Microsoft introduced the Command Palette Dock in March 2026 in PowerToys 0.98. Microsoft has dedicated documentation for Command Palette Dock, and you can check it out on the official Microsoft Learn website. You can update PowerToys to the latest version by going to Settings > General and clicking "Check for updates." Alternatively, you can download the installer from GitHub using this link. In other news, Microsoft is working on a new window-management utility for PowerToys. Called Alt Window Cycle, it will let you use the Alt + ` shortcut to switch between different windows in a single app. You can learn more about the tool here.
    • You did take leaf out of Trumps book already and had brexit - only to harm yourself. The same goes with this AI nonsense. The obvious solution for these companies is to move their head office to Brussels. I can see quite much irony there... 🙂
    • Thank gawd AT&T never worked with the US gov....
    • Wonder if they are trying to slow down Linux traction (not saying this is the only factor) in the consumer space. With the most pressure probably being steam deck/box, etc.
