They are in a Icon folder in the imagere.dll in C:\Windows\System32 & if you are using 64 bit it's in both C:\Windows\System32 & C:\Windows\SysWOW64
1st do this http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/697-system-restore-point-create.html
Make copy's of imagere.dll and put on the desktop and edit the .ico images with something like Gimp each .ico has layers to it edit each layer then you need to http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1911-take-ownership-shortcut.html then http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/122666-permissions-allow-deny-users-groups.html and rename the imagere.dll in C:\Windows\System32 & if you are using 64 bit it's in both C:\Windows\System32 & C:\Windows\SysWOW64 to imagere.bak.dll and put the imagere.dll you edited in there and restart your PC

I have never tried iconspack installer. You need to use Resource Hacker or something similar to open up the imagere.dll and extracting icons, then edit them import them back in and save the new imagere.dll then replace it like I mentioned above.
That's the only way I have ever done it.
Here is a tutorial that may help you understand it.
