Ayie's link made life with icons problem easier . I wish I could know coding
Everytime such things makes me feel I should know it .

Well, it's just an alternative method though.

Trying to keep this thread on topic and with another queery...

Now that i know how to safely revert the icons back to original, i'd like to modify completely the look of the Windows, Icons, Desktop, etc., to suit my favorite wallpapers. I've looked around and the only place that comes close is the ones in Deviantart but i've found none that are 'quite right' for me or that come complete with Icon packs.
Is there a way to customize the Windows 7 Desktop theme/skin like WinXP where we could manually and seperately change the colour, fonts & sizes for all the title bars, message boxes etc.
Windows 7 seems to be limited by changing 'fixed' themes that only change window title bars, borders and wallpapers with an option of adjusting the colour intensity of those 'fixed' themes.

Replying to previous suggestions...
ARC - I did download D3ft0n3Z's Icon pack at the same time as yours and checked out both, his had all 3 files included so i tried yours first that had only "Imageres.dll" - if yours didn't work properly i would have tried his next. Yes, his is probably better as a "complete fix" but i was curious as to what 'exactly' needed fixing so i can learn from this experience.
D3ft0n3Z - You're right regarding making backups, and i usually do, but at the time i had no idea what files were going to be changed by Alienware and especially that when uninstalled it would be one of those 'dirty' uninstalls that doesn't uninstall everything and leaves crap behind.

1. For that, you need to use an app. Ave's Windows7 Style Builder

2. You've learned something new then.

1. Thanks D3ftOn3Z, I guess i should have expected that a seperate 3rd party software program is required, i was hoping that perhaps Microsoft may have created a seperate utility for more advanced tweaking of the Windows 7 interface colours/styles.

2. Yes, still learning, and this forum is a great source of information. With many years of using WinXP and about 6 months of Win7, i'm still working out where they've put things and the differeny ways things are done or modified.

ok//i'll try it at home.. hope it will do

I am a new user to this Forum, I tried all the options, but still my media player icon and all other windows programs' icons aren't the default ones.
