thanks for this, it worked really well together with my replacer script:

;; ReplacerScript
explorer.exe,output\explorer.exe
fontext.dll,output\fontext.dll
iexplore.exe,output\iexplore.exe
mspaint.exe,output\mspaint.exe
mydocs.dll,output\mydocs.dll
notepad.exe,output\notepad.exe
shell32.dll,output\shell32.dll
shimgvw.dll,output\shimgvw.dll

was wondering if you could add shell32.dll bitmaps, for toolbars, and control panel stuff, it would make the whole thing a lot smoother.. and also digital camera icons.. as shown at the bottom of my attached screenshot

thanks :)

this never works when i try to replace my icons.

i put the orginal files into the input folder, ran the command prompt, then booted into safe mode. it would not let me replace the existing files so i just renamed the existing files and put the new files in the system32 folder. oh and does this icon download even have the control panel icons? because it is sort of a waste for me to have to go through all of this bs and then my control panels are even changed.

so could someone please walk me through, step by step on how to correctly do this? i am so sick of not ever being able to do these icon things right.

This accually never worked for me. Tried it in Safe Mode, various times, nothing. A installer that disables temp WFP and then after installing the icons reenables it would be handy :)

Explain too the whole "INPUT" "OUTPUT" folder thing

To all those with problems replacing:

Make a copy of the original shell32 file and reshack the copy. after replacing the icons, use replacer (google for it) and replace the original with the hacked file. Reboot and voila your icons are changed.

If for some reason your icons don't change, use TweakUI to rebuild the icons cache, that should do it.

Broken link. Could you consider hosting these elsewhere perhaps? reading the thread you seem to have lost the links a few times now. How about Deviant art or something, you could always pull the dload if need be.

I would be interested in giving these a go but.

This is just an idea but I am going to try to put my download on this site, you will need to have 7zip to extract these files wich I may post on this site if this post works.

Edit_ this didn't work so I am going to try something else, the picture file enclose in this post, download it and change the suffix to *.7z. you will still need 7zip to open it, please tell me if this works._Edit

Edit2_It didn't work, I will put them on deviant art if someone lets me know how to, I've had a look roud and can't see anything that sais upload your file, or similar.

The adress to download 7zip is Download 7zip_Edit2

    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.

      +1000 to this, don't understand why they added that margin around the top bar, even the close button is a PITA to click without aiming. Ofc, this is just preview and hopefully they will revert such odd UX decision before hitting final version.
