icon installation
Friday, December 27, 2002 by librkvn | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I was noticing many of the icon packages include icons for drives (CDROM, DVD, CDRW) and and Office file types but they don't install when I apply the icon package. Do I have to hack into a dll or something to get these icons install?

I use E-Icons for the DVD/CDRW drives, that has no problem changing the icon. It can be found here: http://www.deepgls.com/eicons/ It will also allow changes to individual types such as .doc or .xls, although Icon Packager does this too with the 'add format' function. I thought the new version of Icon Packager changed the DVD/CDRW icons too, but not on mine for some reason. Anyway, E-Icons gets the job done

I installed E-Icons and tried to change my CD-RW and DVD icons. I Change Any Drive Icon and got an error message "Not available under Windows XP". Even when I click on Drives, I do not see my DVD drive. I see a CD-ROM drive, but when I try to change the icon and click "OK" and go into My Computer, the icon has not changed.

You have Windows XP, right Fuzzy? Also, you have the unregistered copy of E-Icons (30 day trial)? I installed it to the default path...twice already.
