I used The Replacer to switch the Shell32 files. Everything works fine except for the 4 icons in the picture below. I have to mention that before I used the Replacer to switch the shell files, I used E-Icons to switch from the default XP icons to the G.A.N.T. icons. Has anyone ran into any similar problems?

a few problems.

a) after i use repalced to switch the shell32.dll. after i reboot i get this error message

AppName: compaq-rba.exe AppVer: 1.0.0.664 ModName: ntdll.dll

ModVer: 5.1.2600.1217 Offset: 00019ecd

b) i replaced all the .dll's that were in the zip, including mydocs.dll, but still my desktop, my computer, and mynetworkplaces icons won't change.

try using E icons to switch it back to default and try to replace it again.

Since the XP SP1 pack only has shell32 and a few other dlls, would using the .cpl files from the server2003 pack work on XP?

If not, does anyone know where I can get a list of the files I would need to use ResHacker on for the Control Panel?

I don't use Server2003, so I'm not sure about interchanging the cpl files.

But a list of cpl files you should be hacking can be found here: http://www.virtualplastic.net/html/hacklist.html

    • But we are talking about Elon Musk, no AT&T... I know big companies are evil, but Elon and his companies are in another level which is much more dangerous.
    • 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.
