URL.dll ... SHELL32.dll ...

[Guest]

Folks:


Sometimes there is the need to customize the look of the icons on my
desktop. The default file is URL.DLL and is located in the "system32"
folder.
URL.dll contains a mere 4 different looking icons. SHELL32.dll goes a bit
further and provided a few dozen choices for how a desktop con looks.

* Is there any other files (DLL of other) that I can use to customize
(change the look of) the icons on my desktop ?

Thanks,
JoJo.

[pip22]

try those in *CWindows\System32\moricons.dll*

You can also download free icons from the web at:
http://www.iconarchive.com/

The download links in each icon set have several different formats so
be sure to download only the *.ico (Win)* versions for Windows XP
otherwise they won't work.

And the old Program Manager (prelude to Windows Explorer) that is still
included in Windows XP.

progman.exe
