create a 7zip/winrar silent and switchless installer for that apps, or maybe you could go with some system files hacking (shell32.dll hack)

hey, yeah i was thinkin of hacking the system file but thats as a last resort cause it will take ages to change every icon, ie tred another icon program called actiicons but again this makes no entries into the registry and i can find no config file so how i can incorparate it into my cd is a mystery to me

hi, dels, i could make a silent installer for that app using setup factory, in the app folder theres 1 file whioch is the main exe and in the registry all it adds is this

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Icon Phile]
"Compare Mode"=dword:00000000
"Compare"=dword:00000000
"No Touch"=dword:00000000
"Seperate"=dword:00000000
"Small Icons"=dword:00000000
"Mixed Icons"=dword:00000000
"Full Captions"=dword:00000000
"Show Path"=dword:00000000
"Regular Menus"=dword:00000000
"Trans Icons"=dword:00000000
"Tree Visible"=dword:00000000
"Pos"=hex:44,01,00,00,99,00,00,00,4a,01,00,00,2e,01,00,00

so if i change all my icons to what i wantthem as now using icons from \windows\themes\icons and then make a silent install and install it using wpi and put all the icons out of windows\themes\icons folder in my unatened $OEM$\$$\themes\icons would this work???
thanks
