Hello everyone. I have a question in mind. When you make a .theme file there is a part where you can choose the icons for desktop, my computer, network and recycle bin. this is done with a class-id like this:
[CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\DefaultIcon]
DefaultValue=%SystemRoot%\System32\imageres.dll,-109

Now is it possible to use other classid's and change the icon. e.g my documents icon?
If it is possible it would be great, because you can change many icons by applying one theme.

I have tried by adding new CLSID's to the theme file but was not able to get any of them to change, you can do it with a reg file to change the location of the icons you want to change but that still wont let you change it with the theme and you would have to make a backup of your registry to restore them again, so that's not a good way of doing it.

Nice try though lol

Yes, it would be great because then the theme would me much better. Just like the hyperdesk themes, but those are apps.
But thnx anyway. And one more thing: i have finished my first theme, i posted in windows 7 themes by other artist. hope you like it.
