Following customization tutorial for shell32; conrinually blue screeni

[matttm]

I labeled a photo for reference.

Both of these icons appear to be unknown file icons. I have tried to modify the shell32.dll in system32 so that no2's icon showed for both no 1 abd bi2. I have been doing this for about 4+ days.

The first time I tried using reg edit. I found the icon to be in h_class/...unknown/unknownicon (or something) the value wqas liker %system troot%/.../system32/shell32.dll,0
I changed that 0 which signified icon no1 to adiff no which i thought represented icon no2

The replacement numbers were 70 and trying again later was 152. these both gave me a blue screen.

btw these no were from iconviewer and icofx.

the next day i tried this method and blue screend

Welcome to the Seven Forums
The easiest way to do it would be to find the icon you want to use and replace the #1 icon in shell32.dll Then take ownership then give yourself permission and rename and replace the shell32.dll
that second icon looks like #2 or #19 in the imageres.dll
If you need some assistance with this let me know.

the icon i want isnt in the imageres, its in shell32 also.

I basically did that using icofx

That number two icon that you are showing in your first post is not in the shell32.dll the first one is.

 

[matttm]

Here is #152 from shell32.dll it looks different then your # 2 image in the 1st post


Here is # 2 and # 19 from imageres.dll

Extract it from imageres.dll and replace the one in shell32.dll with it.

This will show how to take ownership, give permission and rename and replace the shell32.dll

I did this and booted into a black screen, with cursor, and an err msg saying "app (0x000007b) couldnt start). So i was forced to do system repair.

 

[matttm]

Did this exactly...

What are you using to change the icons?
Jerry

 

[matttm]

Im using icofx to extract the icon from imageres, I store the extract in my documents. Then replace no 1 of shell32 with the extract using resource hacker, i do a save as, and then put it in sys32

I see you are using 64-bit you will need to edit the shell32.dll in both
C:\Windows\System32
and
C:\Windows\SysWOW64
You are working with copies of the shell32.dll ?

I have had trouble with resource hacker a few times. I have made some up using Restorator 2007 which has never failed me.
