Registry Shell Icon Mapping
Does anyone know the mapping numbers for the registry shell icons.
For instance, in this location, "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft \Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Icons\", there are a series of numbers that you can add to change the default icons like your folders and hard drives. Example, you can add a key "3" and map it to an ".ico" file to change your folder icons. These ones I know off so far: --3 and 4 are Folders (opened/unopened) -8 is the hard drive icons I want to figure out the ones for My Pictures, My Music, and My Videos. Thanks. |

Registry Shell Icon Mapping
To know the specific dll file that contains the icons you need, right click
on the file or folder, Customize tab, if the change Icon option is available, click and the icon database dll will open, if the change icon option is not available, create a shortcut to the specific file or folder, right click on the file/folder shortcut, click on the shortcut tab, click the change icon button, this will open the specific icon database dll, showing it's location in the address bar. From there on it's a matter of counting the icons in vertical rows from top to bottom... starting from zero... Examples: in C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll,4 icon is the closed folder, 5 is the open folder, 6 is the 5.5" floppy drive, 7 is the 3.5" floppy drive and so on.. That can all be done with an application such as "ActiveIcons" that opens the dlls and help you select and easily replace Icons.. this changes the data in the Shell Icons registry key. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\Shell Icons Mi Pictures Icon database is: C:\WINDOWS\system32\mydocs.dll My Music and My Videos icon database is: C:\WINDOWS\system32\SHELL32.dll --------------------------------- "Spawn666948" escribió en el mensaje ...

Thanks. http://icofx.ro/ ICOfx is another program that reads exe / dll files. You can also make icons and store them in .icl file libraries. Note on file open you have to change the file type for .exe's |
