your not the only one klop, i finally got around to slowly adding them to my shell32.dll. right now i have a partially modified shell32.dll (that's working) but i'm not sure what to do about the other icons. once i add them i get an error while saving.

also using microangelo.

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 have no idea why they don't...but it annoys me greatly to every now and then while using XP to see a Win9x (or even older!) icon show up (I like consistancy :p )...but from what I'm hearing from other people MS is planning to update all the icons in Vista including the legacy ones..whether MS follow through with this is another story..let's hope they do :laugh:

Thanks again everyone for taking the time to compliment my work :)

Timoteo,

To do it manually with 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.

If you have IconPackager (Not free sadly) you can download the IconPackager Packages and install them that way. This method is easier as it applies the icons to everything it can at once, but then again this software is not free sadly :(

Whichever path, good luck!

That's not showing up for me :( ... any idea why?

Oh I forgot to say, great icons and thanks for sharing. I hope I can get installed them on my computer soon though...

Hey jerry,

I noticed this, too. I figure its an icon issue as the shortcut icon itself should be the size of the icon its overlaying, but the actual icon graphic should be tree times smaller in the bottom right, I think its how it was re-packaged. Maybe it is meant to be like this, too. Im not sure. It does not make much sense though if that is the case.

Timoteo: That is odd, Im not sure whats up. Maybe you are trying to customize pre-creatd system folders such as the My Pictures?

Any user-created folder should have it?

Same with files, but replace the 'customize' tab w/ 'icon' tab. Also, files are ususally more easier on icon-switches. :)

ermm... guys?

I posted the PNGs (256x256) of the imageres icons back in AeroXP. Also turned them into 128x128 icons and made an IPtheme out of them (and it looks great).

These icons are pretty darn small, so i'd much rather go with mine :)

For those curious, the longhorn icons are only icons up to 48x48, after which they are a scaled down PNG. That's all heaped into one file, and so most apps trying to read the file can't.

    • The only reason I want to know where you from is because if you are not from the U.K, then why should you care what we in the U.K do or don't do? Racist I am not, I am fed up with the amount coming over here and feel they can come over here and think we need to support them. Do you know how much it costs this country to support these people coming over here? Even when we give them a place to live it is not good enough. We had a barge that was being used to house immigrants, oh but that was not good enough. A mate said to me at the time, when he was homeless, he would have been happy to live on the barge, instead of ending up sleeping on a bench on the beach. I am not scared to say what my family heritage is, unlike you who is scared to say where they are from or where they live. Father side U.S, mother side Wales, still have family living in the U.S. A mate who sadly died a few years ago, had a load of people from different races recording in his studio, I got on with all of them. Skin colour don't bother me, where they are from don't bother me. Religion don't bother me as long as they don't push it onto me and it is not crazy stuff. I am not religious. But if you are not living in the U.K, then why should you care if we are in the E.U or not? This the problem, too many people poking their noses into where it don't belong. But you believe what you believe, if you think I am racist, then be it, I really do not care. Just grow a pair
    • If he hasn't been able to figure that out, then why is he obsessed with tariffs? Because that's one of the most prominent tools to level the playing field when you have high cost of labor.
    • Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft released the newest preview update (C-release) under KB5095093. Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates. For those who may not know, dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery process in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, which are also called Safe OS updates. The dynamic updates also affect the Setup file binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11. The company writes: "KB5095186: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, version 26H1: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.28000.2335. KB5102558: Setup Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to Windows setup binaries or any files that setup uses for feature updates in Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows 11, version 25H2. KB5095615: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.26100.8737." Microsoft notes that both the Recovery and Setup updates will be downloaded and installed automatically via the Windows Update channel.
