Control panel-change default icon

[K3lamity]

Love this site...has helped me with so many little tweaks...THANKS! Got an issue that may need some help,though. Tried this tutorial (http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/96565-control-panel-change-default-icon.html) and it worked, but only partially. Hack changed the desktop icon and icon in file explorer, but no matter what I did, I couldn't get the start menu {right side} icons to change {like image one in tutorial} when i hovered over choices. Checked and double checked everything...no joy. I finally got the start menu icons change by using classic shell, via their menu tweaks. Would still like to know why my reg changes didn't stick. All that said, I need a tutorial for doing the same procedure in windows 8.1, via the registry hack method.

Hi and welcome:

Sorry, no idea...

Perhaps try this: Control Panel Icons - Change or Restore in Windows 8

Hope this helps,
