imageres.dll / change folder

[stereo]

Hello.
I wanna change my default folder from imageres.dll but i don't know how to do that.
Do i have to use ResHacker or WSB ? I have both, actually.
Please, explain me where is that folder located after i open imageres.dll
Thanks.

Hi stereo, have a look at this thread http://www.sevenforums.com/customization/109744-imageres-dll-icon-list-specifications.html It may be of help

A little bit of magic:





Not sure what you mean by your default folder
Which of those do you want to change?

I asked someone to change that for me, last year.
But i wanna learn now to do that myself. My default folder is now like in the picture.
Can i change it ?

You will have to find it .

I still don't know what you mean by default folder - do you mean all the folders that used to be yellow in explorer have been replaced by that one?

Have allok with an icon viewer - pick up imageres.dll and see which numbers have been replaced with the blue folder you have.

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/iconsext.html

Then you can use e.g. resource hacker to find those numbers and replace them.

Run res hacker as admin , browse to imageres.dll and find the numbers to replace



Of course, you will need the icons you want to replace the blue ones with.

Check out shell32.dll as well.

Ok, i will. But before that, i wanna ask you where can i find ( if possible at all ) this folders, for Windows 7 ?
I searched weeks I didn't find something the same like those.

You will need to edit 3/4/5/6 for the full folder, back, side, and closed view to get them to work properly.Copy the imageres.dll folder to your desktop. Replace 3/4/5/6 with your new icons using resource hacker and then replace the imageres.dll file in the system32 folder. Then repeat for the shell32.dll aswell

Its the icon group numbers you need.You need to copy it to the desktop first then change the icons then replace the file. BACK UP THE FILES FIRST

I have a backup already, thanks.
Are you sure that 3/4/5/6 is the right location / locations ??
After i replaced 3, i couldn't replace 4/5/6
"Out of system resources"

Those locations include the front, side, closed and open view for all folders.Do you have the 4 icon pictures for each of these like mine below.I think also you need to change 162 for the folder inside a folder view

Did you run resource hacker as admin.

 

[stereo]

Did you run resource hacker as admin.

No, i'll try it now.
LE : Same story. I receive this message, again.

If i remember correctly this was just a glitch with the program just ignore the error message.Ive just tested with mine and i get the same message sometimes but the icons still get changed.Just press ok and carry on

Ok, i made it. But a lot of subfolders looks very strange. I cleared the cache, too.
Have a look here, please. They should be all blue. The others are funny

Have you replaced all 4 images in both imageres.dll and shell32.dll Can you post a screenshot of those icons in your new imageres folder

I replaced them only in imageres.dll
Anyway, i wanna keep searching for my fav. icons ( Linux - kde ) and i'll try again.
I still hope i can find some like those.
