Make icons that will work in windows display properties icon selector?

Can I change or modify any icons I download to work in the standard windows icon selector rather than a special program?

I'm guessing, but I think he's wanting to add them to shell32.dll
The best you can do is put them in a folder as .ico files. Right click on any file and choose properties. Select the Icon tab and then browse to the folder you put them in and select your icon. Or you can use a program like Icondeveloper and create Icon libraries .icl which is a group of icons in one file much like shell32.dll
Adding the icons to a dll is a bit advanced.
