Adding Icons to default location?

[bjproc]

i've just downloaded an Icon pack, and i'm wondering can i put them into the same place as windows stores the original ones (%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll)

i have one pack thats .png and another that .ico


thats the best way to add these?

or do i just keep them in a folder and change the icon from this folder?


cheers

thanks, i'll give it a go in the morning

looking at the tutorial, it looks to be if you want to change an icon,

what i'm wanting to do is add more to the (%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll)

or is it better just customising the icon picture and choosing one from the folder i have?

It's better that you replace the icons in the file, but do be warned, keep a copy of the original, just in-case things go pare-shaped.

Repeat upto step 13 for the icons you want to replace, and then when you are done, go for step 14 and step 15.

Nice advise , Uber pal ! I think the best way (the safest way) is to get a system image backup before we start any type of tweaking, so that for any tipe of problems, we may easily restore it.
