Can you use that to apply the new Icons? Kinda a new to the changing icons thing.

Sort of, you can use IconPackager to apply them, but its not free software. You can however to it manually, one by one using Windows.

Just right click on the file/folder, then select Customize Tab (Icon tab if its a file I believe) , then Change Icon, and browse to where you saved it. Note: Some files/folders cannot be changed. For example, you cannot change your Windows Filefolder icon.

Good luck!

heres a screen shot of SOME of them.. theres a lot more.

**Images are sharper then they appear, crappy jpg format**

im actually using these icons right now, thanks to IconPackager

I've done a quick package which is located here:

Feel free to edit em' all up and replace ones I may have missed, I did it quite quickly as I have to get ready for the nite out'

Enjoy!

Tomorrow I'll go through other files and such where some icons might be if anyone doesn't do it by then.

Is there a reason why MS never updates all of their icons?  I mean at least update some of the ancient ones.  These new ones are decent but I just don't feel like it's enough for such a huge release like Vista.

EDIT: Thanks for the upload though.

I agree. Some of the icons in XP were in Windows 95

    • I'm not unblocking my camera for this crapola. Sorry, Google.
    • Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
    • Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
