BoardBabe Posted December 30, 2005 Author Share Posted December 30, 2005 Thanks! But that's not what im looking for. Cause I don't want to include all the icons from the pack i mention. Just some of them.I'm not familiar with reshacking shell32.dll but have a feeling that's what I need to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amit_talkin Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 you should modify shell32.dll file using reshacker OR anyother resource editor......then find your specific icon to change in shell32.dll ..replace it with your icon....you have done!!!!...if you want to apply all the icons on your customization pack....then it will be so hard to modify your shell32.dll file...caz it will take so much time to be modified...so just do one thing....1st install that customization pack into your current system.....then after applying it..copy your current shell32.dll file from SYSTEM32 directory....and apply modifype & makecab on it!!!
