system icons

are you using IconPackager? It changes all of my icons if they are included in the set. https://www.stardock.com/products/iconpackager/

yes...i've tried iconpackager..

it changes all the icons except the ones i mentioned

I've heard of 'others' having the same problem, but I don't.....

IIRC, the CD and DVD icons are hard coded into the system somehow. I don't *think* it's possible to change those. They have to change when the media is inserted into the drives so I think the system hangs on to those. Of course, I could be completely wrong too

E-Icons98 will change them. This is the latest version http://www.deepgls.com/eicons/ which I have not tried. I have version 2.35 which works fine

the old versions of icon packager did that... you need to download the new one...

Mine changed using Icon Packager after I turned off some sevices using Admin. tools in WinXP. Don't ask which because it is sort of complicated and is not for newbies and to tell you the truth I don't know which service I deactivated that allowed the changed.

Oh well, my 2 cents.

hmm

shutting down some of the services has no effect on cd-rom icons, IIRC Icon Packager 2.00 final managed to change cd drive icons.

But notice they dont change when cd-rom is in or out.

Some special coding required for that, but i have no clue about programming :/

Yup you may be correct Voodoo_Freak.

Heck, what do I know?? Nada.

hacking shell32.dll changes these icons. but of course this is only i solution if you don´t change your icons on a daily basis. i´m just lucky i found my dream set and will keep it.

well heck...i must be one of those problems...i have the latest version of icon packager...but still no go

maybe i can figure out how to change them with resourse hacker

thanx for all the input you guys

Not gonna happen.... rethink your options.

what's not gonna happen?

i've seen too many xp systems that have those icons changed....i should be able to change mine as well..icon packager or e-icons doesn't cut it, so what's left?

there is a solution to the problem without resorting to illegal methods....

I'm not sure why your icons won't change. I just double checked mine and they are not the default icons, so I know that they do change. Have you tried the Stardock support newsgroup yet? Someone there may have an answer.

what I was saying before... because you never used to be able to, but now I can, ever since I updated my Icon packager... I am currently running 2.03 if you are not... you probably won't have all of the features that I do... such as skinning those Icons. Before I updated to this version I couldn't... do you guys understand??? check your version...

I couldn't change mine until I installed sp1.

hmmm... that could have been it too.... sp1, I installed both around the same time... iconpackager and sp1...

maybe it's the service pak thing...i don't have it installed yet

yes i do have the most recent version of pkgr

and...."there is a solution to the problem without resorting to illegal methods...."

what's illegal about editing your system's resources
