    change start menu icons "devices and printers" and "recorded tv"


    Hello
    Ive managed to change all the icons on my system to custom ones apart from devices and printers and recorded tv on the right of the start menu.(the ones that appear over your user picture when you hover over them) Ive searched everywhere for their location in the registry but cant find them anywhere.(spent 3 hrs today searching the reg for them)
    Please does anyone know the keys for these 2 items.Ill be suprised if no-one on here has a list of them all somewhere

    Thankyou

    Hello Danny,

    The default icon for Devices and Printers is located at the registry locations below. This will also change the icon in all other locatations as well. For example in the Control Panel.

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{A8A91A66-3A7D-4424-8D24-04E180695C7A}\DefaultIcon

    I have not found the Recorded TV one yet though.
