Darrin Hi Darrin, your situation is just like newbie. So post no #9 of this thread : My Local Disk Icon Already Changed may help you a lot. Moreover if you want a detailed operation, you may go through the tutorial Icons - Change Using Resource Hacker . Somehow you got the imageres.dll file corrupted.
Try either the way stated in post#9 or in the tutorial. Hope it will be solved.

Hi Arc,I'll try the tutorial ,see if it works for me.
One other question,any idea what could cause this?
Read somewhere that Alien GUI could do this.
I installed this prog but didnt like the changes it made and removed it. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number AP pro five OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit CPU i5-750 2 66 Ghz 8M Motherboard MSI H55M-E33 Memory DDR3/1333 4Gig Graphics Card Radeon HD5700 Sound Card Realtek Monitor(s) Displays Asus VW193D Screen Resolution 1440x900 Keyboard Logitech G15 Mouse Logitech G5 PSU Coolermaster 500 w Case Miditower Hard Drives Hitachi HDT721010SLA360 ATA Internet Speed 60mb down 25 up |

I installed this prog but didnt like the changes it made and removed it. You got the ide, pal.
When you installed alien gui, you installed the alien icons with it. And when you deleted the icons, it caused the damage in imageres.dll.
Even if you apply Stardock Iconpackager, and uninstall it without returning to the default, you will get the same result. You must to agree that at last we love the windows icons  .
Try the tutorial, but I dont know whether you have the system icons or not. The necessary icons are uploaded in post #9 of the thread Both of us linked; and if you want something more, let me know, I will arrange it. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Self Assembled OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit SP 1 CPU Intel Core i3 2120 @ 3.30GHz Motherboard Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
