Not sure if anybody wants them, but I whipped up a few Replacer scripts to replace the files quickly.

Howto:

1. Download Replacer (http://www3.telus.net/_/replacer/)

2. Extract replacer to a directory of your choice.

3. Download the scripts and put them in their respective directories. I.E. apps.txt goes in the Applications folder, cpls.txt goes in the CPLs folder and dlls.txt goes in the DLLs folder after unzipping the G.A.N.T. Pack.

- Apps Script

- CPLs Script

- DLLs Script

4. Drag the scripts, one at a time, onto the Replacer.cmd icon. The Replacer program will run and tell you how many files it will replace. If it says it cannot find a file, then you probably don't have the file on your computer and don't worry about it.

Reboot and enjoy!

How do you undo/restore back the old icons without naming all the xxxxx.backup files?

The word RESTORE can be used to restore a file from a backup copy, if it was previously replaced using Replacer:

?notepad.exe,RESTORE

so right now i have the apps.txt file in my apps folder with all the app.exe's

;; ReplacerScript

C:\Windows\explorer.exe

C:\Windows\notepad.exe

C:\WINDOWS\system32\calc.exe

C:\WINDOWS\system32\mspaint.exe

"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"

"C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe"

"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe"

"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\wab.exe"

"C:\Program Files\Movie Maker\moviemk.exe"

do i put

C:\Windows\explorer.exe,RESTORE

C:\Windows\notepad.exe,RESTORE

C:\WINDOWS\system32\calc.exe,RESTORE

C:\WINDOWS\system32\mspaint.exe,RESTORE

save and drag the file to the replacer.cmd?

Exactly. You should have file with a .backup extension of each of the original. So, when you put the ",RESTORE" after the file, Replacer knows that you want to restore the file from the backup.

DEvil,

After I had replaced my mplaye.exe w/ yours, WMP wouldn't even start. Then I realized you used wmp 8, and as others in this thread I had been fully up-to-date at Windows Update, so mine as wmp 9. Its aight, my dock icon still uses the GANT wmp one.

the wmp file in my pack is of verison 9

    • Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

    • So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
    • What I can't seem to understand is that Google are paying SpaceX? Surely it would be the other way round, with SpaceX needing Google's datacenters etc.? Oh well, this level of money and power is way outside of my comprehension at the best of times.
    • "77ee94b helium/windows: winsparkle updater (built-in auto-update support on Windows" If that's what I think it is, that is about the only thing that's been missing from this excellent browser. I guess I'll find out the next time I'm on a Windows machine.
