This is really an interesting icon because it pops up whenever an administrator level action is required; its usually a blue and yellow shield superimposed on tabs, etc. and until recently I had it customized - the red shield from Mr Grimm's glass red pack is the 'de facto symbol' of my system; and it was posted wherever an administrator action was required; a really cool bit of customization!
Well; I installed a theme with new icons; uninstalled and re-installed the glass red icon pack and now I dont have a clue how to get the red shield back as administrator icon. I went into imageres.dll with resource hacker and tried to replace the windows default with the red icon but resource hacker says "out of resources"

Any ideas?
Also; Im wondering how you developers change the windows logo on the system info page?

to change the windows logo on the system properties page you need to edit your shellbrd.dll file located in C:\Windows\Branding\Shellbrd\shellbrd.dll You need to edit image #4 in the bitmap folder
