Change icons in save as dialog

[Uber Philf]

Hey guys, i couldn't find anything remotely close to what i was after, but is there a way to change the icons for Library's and Desktop options in the Open/Save/Save As dialog boxes?? And to get rid of the Recent items as well?

Picture enclosed, explains what i mean.

EDIT: I was thinking possibly something in the Explorerframe.dll that i'd need to edit. Just a thought.

Thanks

I'm not sure about changing the icons, but you can change the locations on the place bar using this small application. It works in 7

Hi Uber! Nice Avatar, man!
I can change the Desktop icon in that box. In tuneup utilities, Open tuneup styler > system elements > Desktop > Change it to (token? I almost sure; they are nic!) your icon and apply.

Hope the explorer icon changing may be found shortly, but about the recent place icon, I know nothing

Edit : You havent changed the live folders to token ? I want to know, can you do it? Then please help me.

How do you mean live folders? and, Is there a way to do it without having to install any 3rd party programs?

Live folders means a folder out of which a hint of its content is peeping out . Using your image to display it.... please dont mind
There is a way that you can change those without installing anything. You just have to use Resource Hacker (you know it need not to be installed). Open imageres.dll in resource hacker; in icon group menu, replace the appropriate icon number with the desired one.

But how to know the appropriate icon number without having any third party software, I really dont know

Edit : I am successful to change live folder icon mission already. Thanks to my friend NEXTLOVER

And a few matching start buttons . All are most important to complete token customization

Can't change all icons with TuneUp 2010 icon packages.

Hi Arc,

I just joined the 7 Forums yesterday. I'm having a problem with changing desktop and other icons with icon packages from TuneUp Utilities 2010 (Windows 7). When I apply an icon package, not all the icons change. I've attached a pic of my desktop. Note the six yellow "live folders" that didn't change to the LK icon package. What can I do to make them change? Please help if you can. (I didn't have this problem with Windows XP.)

Hi Catwoman ! Welcome aboard !!

Tuneup Utilities does not support live folder icon changing . You can do it easily and simply using Stardock Iconpackager , but that is not free . I have a free alternative technique ; http://www.sevenforums.com/943862-post22.html . You may try it , but for that you need custom live folders .

For any further assistance, feel free to ask

BTW , nice customization you have got there ; though I dont like scattered icons on the desktop ; they look cool as arranged in a dock , like this

If I use your free alternative tech, will I be able to change all, not some, of my icons with TuneUp Utilities icon packages? Thank you for the quick reply to my question.

You apply your tuneup utilities icon packager , and at the same time , change your folder icons using that technique . It would be a good idea .

Actually all the icons throughout the system can be changed with that process ... but why to do such a manual labour when you have bought tuneup ? Use the alternative to the places where tuneup fails only .

BTW ... got a pic that may be a nice avatar for you .....

 

[Catwoman]

Okay, I'll try your technique. But I'll wait til my techie friend comes over and help me with it. I'll let you know if it worked.

I like that pic, that's perfect! Thank you! I'll use it as my AIM pic. Regarding your comment about my icons, I do use Object Dock from Stardock for my programs. I have it placed vertically on the right side of my screen. I know what you mean about having too many random icons on the desktop. Thanks for your help.
