BxNemo Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Hi everyone, I just wanted to ask a simple question. I like using XP icons but unfortunetly the program that I'm using isn't.... 'Friendly' (Icon Packager) towards me. My question is if there's any other programs, simpler and by that I mean something that just opens the icons and applys them. I often find myself having to replace some icons myself. So if any of you guys know of any programs please let me know.

dreamz Veteran Posted March 5, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 5, 2004 a free alternative called iconphile: http://www.virtualplastic.net/scrow/iphile.html it's simple to use. :) you can also use a modded shell32.dll. if you're interested in replacing system files, do ask.

BxNemo Posted March 5, 2004 Author Share Posted March 5, 2004 It gives me crap, also clearing the icons is a pain. dunno... just bothers me alot Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/145820-customizing-windows-xp-icons/#findComment-1797582 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argi Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 It's really annoying cause it wont let me just change one icon, it wants to change everything and changes icons for the files as well, real PITA, but it works good. Iconphile is okay, but there's a lot more icons that i want to change that it cant. =\ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/145820-customizing-windows-xp-icons/#findComment-1797606 Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4esh Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 In that case you could use reghack and pernimently change the system icons (then you could change physicaly ANY icon you want) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/145820-customizing-windows-xp-icons/#findComment-1797608 Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ timko ] Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 I like using IconPackager... it's quick and easy and if it I want to change EVERY system icon then I just go all out and start replacing important files etc Currently got Crystal SVG icons :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/145820-customizing-windows-xp-icons/#findComment-1804631 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamz Veteran Posted March 7, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 7, 2004 i find shell32.dll to be the simplest and most thorough method. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/145820-customizing-windows-xp-icons/#findComment-1805010 Share on other sites More sharing options...
