Solved How to add more shortcut icons to the shell32.dll?

[Max Pen]

So I know how to do this: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/53402-shortcut-change-icon.html

But I want to do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qIAa0YyRoI


Add some other icons then the default ugly boring window icons.

Any ideas on how to do that? For some reason I don't trust the video on youtube to be the right idea.


But know of any program that helps you with this? Resource Hacker maybe?

Also is it shell32.dll or imageres.dll that is the right file to edit?

Hi that I know of the icon doesn't have to exist in the icon tray it just needs to exist and be the right size and extension as .ico
As far as the windows logo is this what your referring too because yes it is much different than a simple icon ?

Exist on same drive as Windows? Do you know of any good places with many icon packs?

There is a search or browser for the .ico file you want to use,
it can be in my pictures or documents in a separate folder :/

I meant that you don't need to use the browse but that its already present. I want to know how to add icons like in that youtube video.

You really should leave the default icons alone
