So I edited the imageres.dll file and edited some icons however the icons don't show. The folder icons only show when the layout is set to large images, but if I set it to list or details or small icons the default icons show, why? look at the images below..

I would say part of the problem is you didn't change the right ones for the standard folders.
To do it right you need to change #3, 4, 5, 6, 162 icons
#3 and 4 would be the open folder like the one you used
#5 is the back #6 is the front and 162 is when you have folders within folders. In the screenshot below will show you some examples and they are all multilayered. You might be able to just change #3 and 4 but I am not sure. This tutorial may help you understand it better http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/144807-folder-icon-change-default-icon.html
Let me know if there's something you don't understand.
