I didn't see a Recycle Bin (Empty) in your shell32 folder. Will it show up ?

[slvcadillac]

can someone please please please post the hacked shell32 file because i really don't feel like going through all of the work and time of switching every icon

thanks

^^^^

yes please do post the Hacked Sell32.dll

would be very handy :)

Very nice Mike and thanks for sharing...:)

I typically have two hacked shell32.dll's on my HD, and am presently using my OSX styled shell32.dll...This will work out well when I get the time and ambition to (once again-lol) hack my LH5048 styled shell32.dll, with these from Vista Beta 1..

As anyone who has worked with hacking a shell32.dll it is very tiresome work........lol very repetitive, but fully worth it for a nice GUI change!

Awesome looking. Thanks for sharing. Cant wait to try them.+

I say don't post a hacked shell32.dll. The last thing we need is a bunch of people screwing up their XP install by trying to use a system file that isn't compatible. Hacking it yourself would be safer. It's a piece of cake.

Thanks!

its just so much work to have go in and individually replace each and every one of those icons. it would be so much easier if someone could please just post a hacked system32.dll file.....

Other then some obvious "peoples computers become stuffed" issues, upload a shell32.dll it depends on the version of the file. I dont know if the file changes between versions of XP, but theres may be a different shell32.dll for Windows XP sp2, and sp1 etc.

Either way, you just need to get a reshacker, and go through manually changing the icons which is a pain i know cause i'll have to do it this arvo.

However, once it's done keep a copy of the file for the future.

NOTE: When you do this, make sure to keep a copy of the shell32.dll file incase of problems!!! just back it up to a directory somewhere. or copy, paste to the same directory and rename it to shell32.bak

[slvcadillac]

well then can someone at least match the icons up like show what the orginals should be replaced with.

[sacrifist]

not all his icon numbers are matching up with mine. Does having windowblinds have anything to do with that?

I'm going to make a shell32 patcher...

[Mike_Wilson]

I created a shell32.dll patcher, its on the main thread, report any errors if you have any.

EDIT: added explorer.exe patching to it

[Nico Lazaro]

awesome, can you make a mydocs.dll file too and maybe any other icons that are missing?

@Mike_Wilson - I read the tutorial on how to use Resource Hacker, and I got a lot of the icons changed on my XP SP2 box, but I cannot get My Computer icon or my network drive icons to change. I did replace them using Resource Hacker, but they did not change. Any idea why? Any different step I should take? Any other program I could use?

I named the original shell32.dll from Windows to shell32.bak, and in Safe Mode moved the new hacked shel32.dll to the %windows%\system32 folder. Like I said, it worked, but some of the icons did not change.

Thanks

Maybe this is ok.

But how to install these? Do i have to change each icon manually?

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

Thanks.
