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

    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.
    • That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,  
    • Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
