Solved Change default iPhone 4S icon

[Bongo]

Look at post #2 in this thread and create a shortcut on your desktop of the icon you want to change, right-click on the shortcut and go to properties, when the property windows open up go to the shortcut tab go down and click on change icon button and look in that address field at the top of that window it should be highlighted already copies that address down and post it for me.

Thanks Jerry,

this is the address I got - %SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll

Was that icon from your first post in the window below that address field?

Look in these location and look at all the subfolder's and see if that icon is in one of these areas.
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Device Stage

C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Device Stage

AppData in hidden use this tutorial to show it

Yeah that was the same icon from the first post; as far as I can tell it hasn't changed. I looked in the locations you specified but I couldn't find the icon in there.

Does the change icon window show the same icon as in your Devices and Printers window?


Post a screenshot of the shortcut properties & change icon window on your next post.
Like these, these are examples of what in need screenshots of.

Sorry read your question wrong, the icon is different from the devices and printers window.

You are going need to look in C:\ and C:\ProgramData and C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData for any Apple folders and look for that icon look in all subfolders

Devices and printers window

Just a shot in dark do the shortcut thing with one of them

Ok I now get this and my iPhone icon is in there!

Not sure what to do next, any ideas?

Double click the White iPhone Icon and select Apply and OK

I did that and it didn't work. I then tried again and then rebuilt the icon cache and restarted but it still appears as the original icon.

I thought it would come out that way that is the .dll that you changed this is a tough one. I am going to do a little research and check something out and will get back with you sometime today.

I think my daughter has a iPhone she will be here on Christmas day and I will ask her if she has the data cable and I will plug it in and see what happens I'm not going to guarantee anything.

I have a thought if you can go to a iPhone forum and ask if a autorun.inf with a icon can be added to your iPhone.
I know you can do this for a thumb drive like an screenshot I have here that icon shows up in every computer I plug it into. I'm still trying to come up with another way of doing it to.

Hi Jerry,

sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I asked the question on an iPhone forum and I'll let you know of any replies I get. If you want to check it yourself the thread is here. I probably won't be on here for the next few days for obvious reasons so Happy Christmas to you and your family and I'll speak to you soon.
