u HAVE TO choose " save as..." and then save it on your desktop or another folder, best leave the name the same. AND THEN take ownership of the old one and replace it with your newly created file.
If u choose save, and save it in thesame file, it won't actually save anything. Had the same issue, so just take my word for it. Choose "save as" and save as a seperate file before replacing.
cheers
Thanks for the suggestions, but I think I'll just wait until I get the retail version and then using the 7600 installers. I don't want to go through the whole editing thing just to potentially have it blow up in my face again. I always get nervous when manually editing my system files.
I too am trying to replace the main icons for programs (such as Firefox, Word etc...). I've used Restorator 2007 to assign new icons for Firefox, and it works perfectly, however Word and Staxrip to take 2 examples, don't - I still get the old icon, even though it's showing up in Restorator to have the new ones assigned to it.
And yes, I've rebuilt the icon cache, restarted many times, etc... It just still seems to use the old icon for some reason! Where is it getting the icons from, if not from the .exe ?? I've changed ALL the possible icons in Word to the same one, but it's still using the default Microsoft one!
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!! :0)
The reason why some of the icons aren't changing is probably because you have them pinned to the start menu. Pinned shortcuts retain their icon if it's a customized one, you can either right click the shortcut and change the icon by pointing back to the exe or unpin the icon and then re-pin it. To see all of your user pined shortcuts paste this into the address bar and click enter and go into the folder StartMenu Or TaskBar.
