So how do you work with just the .dll file?

Is there a simpler way than having to manually set up each icon to the icon you want? from the .dll file by selecting? Is there not a tool or a method to make XP think that it has to use all the icons in this .dll instead of the one that came with it?

Thank you for your help! :)

Alex :cool:

how can i get them out of the dll for use on a dock ??

try Axialis IconWorkshop 5.0 - thats what I used to edit them :) The icons only go up to 48x48 though, so I'm not sure if they would look as good if used with a dock.

And all those people who do not know how to use the dll, it's just like using a normal icon - when selecting the icon that you want to replace an original, browse for the dll and select the icon. if that didn't make much sense, try google.

oh, and if you have any more Longhorn icons I can use please PM me :)

Erm, how do i install them? All thats in the Zip in a readme, an image and a dll. What do i do? :p

:) see my post on the second page of this topic (third post from the bottom).

I really should include instructions with the readme... I'll do that next release :)

Thanks everyone for all your great feedback so far :)

I'm having a bit of trouble finding more icons for another release. If you have Longhorn or more Longhorn icons I could use please don't hesitate to PM me or add me to MSN. Of course I'll give you credit if you contribute...

I have just updated the Longhorn Icons set it is now v1.0c.

Changes: I have added 4 new icons and the read me now comes with instructions on how to use the icons and the .dll file.

See my first post for more info and the new download link :)

and again, please don't hesitate to PM me if you have more Longhorn icons I can add to the set.

I actually do think the Windows icons are getting better. The original one's were, in one word, sh*t - the XP icons are much better... not the best but a very big improovement - and I think the Longhorn icons are phucking fantastic. Atleast Microsoft is getting one thing right...

I just updated the Longhorn Icons set. It is now v1.0d.

Changes: I have added 3 new icons; Paint, E-mail and Set Program Access and Defaults. Special thanks to Krezno who contributed all three of these new icons. (Y)

See my first post for more info and download.

and again, please don't hesitate to PM me if you have more Longhorn icons that you can contribute. :)

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
    • They said by this time everyone will have flying cars. WELL...
    • A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.
    • Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.
