    Customizing The Remaining Icons In Explorer ?


    Hi there, been using this site all night to help customize my win7 but I'm at an impasse right now, so thought I'd come and ask for help here, and to say thank you for all the tutorials you guys have here! Fantastic!

    Moving on..

    I've supplied pictures of what needs to be customized with my custom icons. Could someone point me in the right direction to a tutorial which covers the changing of these icons on Win7 please? Thank you
