Anybody know how we can see all icons (and index) in shellres.dll file especially icons to change folder icons in menu start?



Icons for Games folder in menu start is:

1#shellres.dll,-8229

Icons for Office folder in menu start is:

1#officeres.dll,-7690



Is there any chance to see index of all icons in shellres.dll file? Perhaps do we know some folder icons, like this for game or office folder (standard folder icons with little addon)?

So could I change the icon for a certain program like this?

I downloaded a game but it has an ugly icon that doesn't even look right with the game. I got a different icon I use with ultimatelaunch but it still shows the ugly icon in the recent programs list & the games folder. I would like it to show the icon I downloaded

The icon on the game folder is a file .icon that is hidden. If you use total commander and set it to show hidden files, you'll see it.

You can't just change the icon. Applications need to be digitally signed. If you change the icon, it will lose its signature, meaning it will give an error on startup. You'll need to unsign it first, change its icon using PE Explorer and signing it back.

Can you share your shellres.dll file?
