So if I'm right, you can replace your default windows icons (on Win7 64bit) by modifying or replacing the Shell32.dll in the System32 and SysWOW64 folders. Well I did that awhile back. Now I want them back to default. Only problem is, I can't remember exactly how I did it... So, how do I do it? Because when I restart the computer after replacing both of the Shell32.dll's, nothing changes.

Type SFC /scannow press [ENTER]

Or you should have a shell32.dll.old or .bak file you could change it that way and just use

Regsvr32 C:\Windows\System32\shell32.dll
