Icons - Change Using Resource Hacker

But after I surf the Web automatically for 30 minutes, the icon comes to a blank icon or the Opera icon.

You also need to leave the icon you choose in the same folder/location or it will revert to a generic icon if you move it after changing. I keep all of mine in a folder called "Icons" in My Documents.

Changing icons dont make a program corrupted ... you must have done something wrong there.

BTW, it works for all of us what Britton30 stated above, and flawlessly. At the same time, It shouldn't be in an external drive.

If you apply a new icon via the customize option from program properties dialog, you could have the icon on an external drive. This would require the drive to be connected constantly. If you were to disconnect it, the generic icons would again take over and you'll have to reapply the custom one(s).

Before you change the imageres.dll, for example, did you Take Ownership Shortcut and rename the original to imageres.dll.OLD? Then reboot to apply your modded .dll file.

OK, I used imageres.dll as an example. To change the Opera icons, you need to open Opera.exe with reshack to change them, following the same take ownership, renaming the original, etc.

What I have done is this:
1.Take ownership of the original.
2.Make a copy of it on the desktop
3.Rename the original (for backup use)
4.Use reshack to mod the copy and compile
5.Move the modded one back to original location
6.Reboot or log off/on

Make sure the one you have just changed has the exact name of the original .dll file.

Not out of memory, but out of system resources.



Dont worry, press OK and proceed.

Thanks Archie have ben toying with this idea and also making up my own private tuts for the folks I fix for - it really has given me some insight and ideas to toss around.
