#FOLDER ICON CHANGER FOR WINDOWS XP KEYGEN#
CPL's in system32 folder these are control panel files.
You can repeat this process to any program you want to. Now if your icons don't change you may have to rebuild the icon cache by using TweakUI or by using the windows options in Axalis Icon Workshop.(excellent Icon program)ġ1. Thats it! sounds like a lot of work but its worth it. now copy your modified new shell32.dll icon into the c:\Windows\System32 directory. Right Click drag (hold down the right button and drag as opposed to the left button) this file from its original location to your desktop. Now that you have the backup files taken care of, Navigate to c:\Windows\System32 and locate that original shell32.dll file. Navigate and copy the new shell32.dll file to these two locations: c:\Windows\System32\dllcache and if you have SP1 installed c:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386Ĩ. First off, XP is very clever in creating a backup of all its important system files so you need to replace these backups. Now you have a new and improved shell32 file. Once you've changed all the icons that you want, Save the file. simply right click on an icon that you want to change click on replace and navigate to your new icon.Ħ. and Voilà!! Tons of icons, actually most of the icons in the entire system. Once librarian is opened, open the first backup of that shell32.dll file. librarian is an application that can open up exe's and just about any file with embedded icons.Ĥ. Once Microangelo is downloaded and installed, open librarian. One of these backups is for editing purposes and the other is pure backup.ģ. To view these files you need to turn off 'Hide protected operating system files' and 'Show hidden files and folders' in the view tab of the folder options under tools in my computer. for this example we will use shell32.dll This file is located at c:\windows\system32\shell32.dll. While Microangelo is downloading you need to make 2 backups of any files that you will be replacing. We are simply going to replace the old ones with new ones. The key to understanding this process is knowing that many files installed in windows has embedded icons. But there is a way to change 95% of the icons that you see in your windows system.
ALWAYS make backups!!!! Also NOTE: I am not responsible for any damage to your computer USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! I've used Icon Packager for the longest time to change all the icons in my Windows XP system. NOTE: Before using this tweak know that it is potentially dangerous to your system.
