Vista Icons Pack v2.0 Ultimate - System Patch

Patch created by Kudesnick (resource files) and Aero from AeroXP.net (compiling and scripting).

Vista Icons Pack v2.0 Ultimate - System Patch will replace standard Windows XP to Vista icons! It modifys about 70 windows system files, including not necess big icon libraries as Shell32.dll, Netshell.dll and Wmploc.dll and many others. This patch make your Windows Media Player taskbar pane like in Windows Vista.

After installing you can go to Folder Options and change icons for some files, for example change it for PNG-image system file now include icon for this image format (see file ...system32\shimgvw.dll, last icon) or for MSI and MSP (icons for these file types you can find in Shell32.dll). Setup also will install Icon Cache rebuilder and will repair your system files after updating.

No more XP icons!

This one will actually REPLACE your system files with alternate versions -- that is, these icons will become "THE DEFAULT WINDOWS ICONS" as opposed to the ones now. The only method of going back is either a) Uninstalling the pack, or b) Re-editing all of the DLLs, EXEs, CPLs etc, replacing them with the default Windows icons.

The one problem I have with these icons is the lack of support for greater-than 48x48 for most icons...I'd really like to have 128x128 icons on the desktop and etc, but I guess I'll just have to manually patch it.

During the install it names a program to type into run to reset your icon cache but I didn't write it down. What is the name of the program?

For those asking, during the install a folder is created named system_backup found in Windows. If you look in it you can see what files have been changed.

I found the way to answer the "Do you have IE6 or IE7 ?" confusing

Thank all of you! For the greate installer thanx to Aero from AeroXP.net

I think you talking about Rebuild.exe

I found the way to answer the "Do you have IE6 or IE7 ?" confusing

Why? Thats just because if you have WIE7 installed you don't need to change icons, they are allready vista-like icons.

All icons in system files are up to 48x because:

1) Windows XP doesn't use icons more than 48x (even you make icons on desktop 128x)

2) The more formats in icon, the more file size is -> the more system file -> the more your processor will be in use

    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
