i have installed vista insp 1.1 --- it changes all the icons.. and vista transformation 2.0 has changed everything... try these two...

 

[legolas]

no, i already hav the vista skin changed using the patch uxtheme.dll. i dont hav the icons changed. and i dont want to install that vista insp. pack... i hav already did that and not impressed. moreover, i wanted to change the icons of those only i prefer to. so this way is better. i hav managed to changte the icons of my computer, recycle bin, broadband conx. etc... and a few. anyways, i ll look at that transformation pack. thks for the suggestion.

yes.. Vista inps didn't impress me too...... but Vista Transformation 2.0 is abit good... it changes the boot screen to vista [as before as VT 1] and added some extra themes. most imp'ly it makes the screen tranparant as Vista.... it will be nice if they put the WMP 11 screen with it.....

U can use Tuneup Utilities to change the icons u want

vishal gupta, thks for the info! i jus recognised that. however, i wud like to know if tuneup styler service(winstyler) has to always run for the changes to be existing permanently? coz i usually make the service "manual" or "disabled" as i dont use it.

No! U don't need to run the service to take affect everytime!

It writes some Registry entries to change the icons, hence u don't need to run the service...

If u just want to change the icons of the HDD partitions in explorer then create a file called 'autorun.inf' in the root of each drive without quotes and in the file write:

[autorun]
icon=xyz.ico

Save the file and restart. Now you can see the changes. Enter the correct patrh of the icon in icon=xyz.ico. Or copy the icon in the root of the drive with autorun.inf
