Hello, I would like to change the System Tray icons of Volume, Network and Power with ResourceHacker, could anyone help me where can I find the files containing them?
I would also be happy for any other information about the size of the icons needed or anything else useful.

First thing I'd suggest is download and install Download IconViewer that way you can look at the icons from the property window there will be an icon tab.

SndVolSSO.dll For volume

pnidui.dll For network

batmeter.dll For the power on a laptop. These are bitmaps.

For a 32-bit system they will be in C:\Windows\System32

For a 64-bit system they will be in both C:\Windows\System32 and C:\Windows\SysWOW64

To properly change a system file you need to take ownership give yourself permission and rename the old file and then copy in the new one look at Post #6 of this thread will tell you how to do it http://www.sevenforums.com/customization/179502-basic-networking-information.html#post1525656

Here is a few tutorials you should look at.

I'm trying to do this with the XP tray icons, but I can't find them anywhere. All I can find is Windows 7's icons for XP and not the other way around. I've tried making the icons myself from XP's files, but Windows 7 has way more icons there than XP does, so I'd have to make too many. And the ones I did try to make just resulted in blank icons on the tray. Has anyone done this?
