i can't say for sure but i think its the shellres.dll file that has the image in it

Where is shellres.dll located?? I can't find it.
Edit: I found it:) And how can I replace the image in the dll? I can't even copy it out from the windows folder... I tried with total commander but no luck :S

as i said you have to cook your own rom from scratch on the computer to get the dll into it
pretty much what all the people who make roms in this forum does so as i said it's not something for the most users
you can prob read about how start learning to cook roms in the wiki pages of your device

you can do this without cooking it into the rom. With WM6 the file is shellres.96.dll. Use reshacker to replace icon number 288, then you must "sign" the DLL using this:

finally, copy it into the windows folder (you may have to rename the old one first)

soft reset and you should be good to go!

since you're having problems copying it I've attached a copy

BTW if you do this and it screws up your title bar icons it probably means that WM6.1 uses a different DLL. To fix it just delete or rename the DLL and reset.

i looked for this file on my wing (it has wm6) and there is a file named shellresapps.96.dll, so i am sure that it's probably not the same file....and it will not allow me to copy it to my pc so i can look inside of it, any ideas?
