I've 'assembled' many custom shell32.dll files myself. Both for Xp and Windows Server 2003, it's a tedious task but with some coffee and music it only takes roughly four hours. That includes testing and updating certain erroneous icons I may find.

Why this is taking so long is beyond me. I would release one myself if it weren't for certain ownership issues. The only reason for the delay that I can come up with is the production of some custom AVI files that could take a very long while, depending on the quality of the final product. Or there are some issues regarding copyright or other, between Mattahan and the producers of the shell32.

Let's just hope the 'project' if you can call it that, has not been discarded for some reason or other.

A little feedback to a very grateful and privileged community would go a long way. :D

Well just recieved a mail from mattahan today and hes given me permission to release the shell pack. Its 90% complete and it should be done within 2 days.

Im sorry abt the speed guys in which this is being done but Ive got to study too. Ive got my exams coming and I cant afford to screw it up.

Doing a shell pack isnt easy, specially when your mentally stressed after studing and then things dont go well with the shell pack. It gets really frustrating when you restart to check something and then you cant log in into windows coz some file is ****** up and you have to go into recovery console and find and fix which is the bad one and replace it. Luckily the first time it happened, I just managed to find a backup somewhere, otherwise I would have being doing the pack from scratch.

Ive had to take out time from my studies to do this and I am slightly behind.... Buts its ok. Somebody had to do it and im glad Im dong it.

I dont have much talent, but this is something which i can do and im happy to bring it to u guys.

Just gimme some time, and you'll have your shell pack :)

wow....I didnt expect such replies after that post of mine. I thought you guys would be even more dissapointed that you had to wait 2 more days. Thanx for understanding and I promise you guys you wont be dissapointed :)

and dont worry abt the performance, the shell32 is gonna be max 17 mb :D

@ tkdrbssla - yes the avi files are in the works and it will take some time till its done.

does anyone know which file holds those 2 icons at the bottom on the screenshot there?

I just cant seem to change those 2 icons.
