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.

    • Hello, Were you using a product or service from one of the companies affected by the Klue data breach?  See https://klue.com/blog/an-update-on-recent-klue-security-incident for the company's public statement.  That blog post does not list affected customer. From looking around at reports, I created this list: Gong HackerOne Huntress Insurity Jamf LastPass OneTrust Recorded Future ReliaQuest Salesforce Snyk Sprout Social Tanium It is likely there are other companies affected as well.

    • SpaceX reportedly plans a Starlink mobile service for U.S. consumers by Karthik Mudaliar SpaceX reportedly wants to sell mobile phone plans directly to consumers in the United States as part of a wider expansion of Starlink. According to a report from the Financial Times, SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell discussed the plan with investors during the company’s recent IPO roadshow. The company is also said to be considering building a terrestrial mobile network to complement Starlink’s satellite coverage. The plan is quite different from how Starlink currently operates in the U.S. mobile market. SpaceX already provides satellite connectivity for T-Mobile’s T-Satellite service, but T-Mobile remains responsible for the subscription, billing, and customer support. A Starlink-branded mobile service would give SpaceX control of the customer relationship instead. It could also turn the company from a partner of traditional mobile operators into a direct competitor. T-Mobile also began testing its Starlink-powered satellite service in early 2025. The beta was initially limited to text messaging and was also available to some AT&T and Verizon customers. The service has since expanded to support limited data access through selected apps, including WhatsApp, Google Maps, AccuWeather, and AllTrails. It is designed to provide a connection in areas where normal cell towers are unavailable, rather than replace a conventional mobile network. However, if SpaceX actually has a plan to serve nationwide, it needs to do more than just satellite networks and actually support on-ground operations. It can also partner up with existing carriers and become a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO). With that said, SpaceX has already spent heavily to support its mobile ambitions. Just last year, the company agreed to acquire wireless spectrum licences from EchoStar in deals worth a combined $19.6 billion. EchoStar's spectrum includes AWS-4, H-Block, and AWS-3 frequencies that could be used for both satellite and terrestrial communications. According to a SpaceX securities filing, the Federal Communications Commission approved the transaction in May 2026, although it is not expected to close until late 2027. There's no official statement by SpaceX for now. Pricing, availability, and other details remain unknown. Source: Financial Times
