Krezno just sent me a whole bunch of Longhorn icons ripped right from the OS itself - expect another release in the next few days, when I next get a chance to upload the new zip. Some of the new icons include calculator, notepad, keyboard and mouse + some Avalon icons :D watch this space...

here we go - I just updated the Longhorn Icons set to v1.0e.

Changes: I have added 9 new icons: Notepad, Keyboard, Mouse, Calculator, and 5 "Avalon" icons. Special thanks to Krezno who contributed all nine of these new icons. (Y)

See my first post for more info and download.

Remember, all icons in the Longhorn Icons pack are ripped straight from the OS itself - this is the only icons set that has these!

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

enjoy lads! (and lass') :D

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

Changes: I have removed the Portable Device icon because I realised it's a WinXP icon not Longhorn, added Games Folder icon, re-arranged the icons so it looks a bit neater.

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.

ehrrmmmmm....a n00b question, i have managed to change the icons for my computer, network places, my documents and the recycle bin but how the h**l do i change the icons for the folders? :no:

Right-click on the folder who's icon you want to change, select properties, on the Customize tab under "folder icons" select change icon, browse for the longhorn.dll file (after unzipping the zip file of course), choose the new icon you want to use, click OK then Apply then OK again.

Note: this may not work on some system folders. For folders that don't have the Customize tab, use Axialis IconWorkshop 5

are the original longhorn icons ico files or something else? part of .dll??

Well these icons are ripped straight from Longhorn so maybe they are still ico. I'm not sure what you mean by "part of dll" though :blink:

@ Zeitgeist: which icons are you confused about?

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

Changes: I have added an "image file" icon. I have also edited the clock icon; it now also has a 128x128 format.

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.
