@prithvi:

• ModifyPE your "reshacked" shell32.dll
  
• Delete the backup shell32.dll at C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache (so that windows will not recover from the "true" backup)
  
• Copy your "reshacked" shell32.dll into C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache (the new backup)
  
• Use your own technique in replacing C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll
  
• Enjoy...

after replaceing urs shell file plz restart or better shutdown urs pc and then restart

I have readed this topic several times.
But still unclear

What I have: custom full_uacd with ryan update pack integrated and custom shell32.dll cabed to shell32.dl_ and placed in my uacd. Windows file protection on my uacd disabled.
What I want: that after installation my custom uacd shell32.dll will be in windows\system32 UNCHANGED by update pack and without any additional actions form user since it is unattended installation.
If such it is possible ?

Can anyone help me with my problem.
I repeat : I edited shell32.dll with my favorite icons then makecab-it and then put it on my Ua CD in i386 and after ive tested the XP, no icons changes, still the default icons.
I'm really p***ed off because of this, anyone says that they customize their shell32.dll the makecabit and then they put it on their Uacd and it works for them.
Whats wrong ?
Srry for my eng, i need hlp plss

disable your windows file protection before trying to edit system file or ur file will keep backing up to original...

The best ways to change your shell32.dll icons is to download 2 simple programs: Resource hacker ( to open and modify your system default file, and then to replace icons with your own), and the second one is replacer ( a program that replaces the shell32.dll default with your modified one, it creates automatically a backup of your original shell32.dll and repleces it with your own. you can see changes after first restart or more restarts, or if this doesn't work, go to task manager and kill process for explorer.exe and then reopen it, it should chage your icons, depending on how many icons you've changed)
Hope you get the idea... it's easy no time consuming, no disk space (both programs have less than 10 Mb)...
Happy shell hacking
