Hello Joe,

Those would be dependant on the installed program and driver instead.

You might be able to if they had a CLSID key that you could find for it at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID, and change the icon in the DefaultIcon key at that location the same way as in the tutorial.

You might even be able to use the program Resource Hacker on their .cpl file usually in the C:\Windows\System32 folder to manually change the icon used.

Hope this helps some,
Shawn

Correct value for Administrative Tools in the table must be

{D20EA4E1-3957-11d2-A40B-0C5020524153}\DefaultIcon

But in your table the value is {D20EA4E1-3957-11d2-A40B-OC5020524153}\DefaultIcon

Attempting to take ownership of the CLSID for Sound {f2DDFC82--8F12-4CDD-B7DC-D4FE1425AAD} I recieved an error. I am familiar with the registry & this isn't my first time, but this is the first time that I have encountered this error. Any help is appreciated.
