How Can You Replace The Windows Default Icons From Shel32.dll With Others?

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

ActivIcons—is free software—that makes it simple to change properties for various icons on your Windows desktop and in Explorer, plus attributes for many other desktop settings. You can save and restore the desktop layout, repair corrupted icons, increase the size of the Windows icon cache to prevent future problems, and much more.
You can substitute your own icons for the standard Windows icons and cursors. In fact, ActivIcons goes through your Registry and lists out all of the icons found there, so that you can change those as well. You can even use ActivIcons to display animated icons on your desktop, or make the icon text labels transparent.

How To Restore Default .dll Icon?

Friday, October 16th, 2009

How do I restore one of these icons, I associated a .dll file with Notepad on Vista, and managed to remove the association, but the .dll file still has a picture of a notepad on it, and I really want the old two-gears icon on it.
Thanks in advance.
