Changing ALL icons [With IconPackager]
Tuesday, January 17, 2006 by Cody-7 | Discussion: Stardock Support General
Hey everyone,
I've used IconPackager, for a long time because i think it's an awesome program (Well, even though it's not been putting my icons back after applying a theme latley
). But, there's something that's been bothering me. Even though IP is able to change nearly all the icons on your PC, you often see the default XP icons. For example, with any Icon theme whenever you open the Browse dialog box, you will see all of your default XP icons. Folders, drives, and everything. It must be getting them from the windows .DLL files, like shell32.DLL because that's the only place the regular windows XP icons are stored. Is there some way to trick any program that does this into using the icons you're using with IconPackager?
It just drives me nuts seeing the default windows icons... even with an awesome program such as IconPackager. If anyone knows a fix, or workaround, i (and many other people would be greatful) i'm sure. Thanks! P.S. I'm using IP v3.10.

The only thing I can think of is that you are using incomplete packages. Not every IP has all icons in it. In fact most don't have ALL icons.
