I created my first application (.CAB file) :D
I tried on my DiamonD (VGA) and PropheT (QVGA), it works well.

If you would like to create these empty folders with icons under \windows\start menu\programs\ , you can install my application ;)

Thanks for this and keeping the icons looking stock as i like the stock look. If you make any more folders could you keep them to this style.

Thanks again

I can't get this to work on my TyTN II with another language (Dutch).
%InstallDir%\Start Menu\Programs\... doesn't exist in my language like that.

Thanks mate... Can you show me how to make this cab? I have a bunch of beautiful icon that I want to use, but I really don't know how to make it.

fantastic work thanks alot!

my only question is, can i move all my icons into the folders. for example, if i try and move one of the shortcuts which was preinstalled on the phone, such as the camera icon i get a warning message saying that the program may no longer function correctly anymore.

can i still move it or will it totally screw it?

1: unsign dll
2: add icons to dll
3: sign dll
4: copy a file named foo.ico to the folder in which you specify the icon from the dll

hey guys, you can make a DEDICATED dll from an icon library with GConvert, to put ALL icons you want!

Here are my LAST icons packs, without touching any system dll...

as a "quick" howto from a precedent post:

You have to pack 16x16,32x32, 64x64 images to an .ico file, or edit an .ico file deleting unwanted resolutions...
Then group all icons, numbered & ordered in an "Icon library"

I've used ArtIcons Pro to do this. The icon library has the .icl extension.

Now you have to compile it into a dll (I have used GConvert)

Remember that WM supports 256 colors icons, so if you use more colors, is wasted space.

PS: BUUF ICONS AREN'T MADE FROM ME

all i wanted to do was move the start menu from the root of the start menu (programs) to a folder inside that. is moving the camera app shortcut into another folder gonna screw everything?

Guys, with my cabs is installed a picture into My Documents...
Into this picture there are all the icons with the respective number to change into the file icon.link contained into the empty folder you want to change.

Also renaming is permitted.....
