I recently discovered this sweet icon pack (here) and it’s full of .ico files. Normally I hit ‘Properties’ and change the used icon that way, but folder icons don’t seem to work that way.
Any ideas?
Assuming you’re in Windows 7, right click the folder, choose Properties, then switch over to “Customize”. You should find something called “Folder icons”. Change 'em from there.
Might be like that for Vista as well.
If It’s all the System Icons like folders and My Computer you want to replace, you should download IconPackager:

It’s a free trial, but It’s usable for up to 60 days.
Or you could try to edit the registry.

I’m running Windows 7. Tired that, but many Properties menus don’t have a Customize tab, or a Change Icon for that matter
@PJAMA
meh… I’d prefer the knowledge to do the task myself for future reference…
What are you trying to change, specifically?
control panel. personalization. change desktop icons.
Quick question that sort of relates:
I right click on my desktop, click properties, and get this:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundlel32.exe
Application not found
why can’t it perform that simple task?
and what would the remedy be?
I’m assuming that’s rundll32.exe, not rundlel32.exe.
Try this:
Open a command prompt window and type this:
sfc /scannow
This may fix your rundll32.exe problem. Let me know how it works.
Yeah, it brings me to an “open with” window with a “programs to use” list that are all found in my computer. It bscly smiles at me in a troll-like fashion every time i attempt to run a specific program on my machine. one of my registry files must have been overwritten or fucked up. i just can’t fix it.
And isn’t a windows xp cd required to successfully run that repair scan?
