need help changing cellphone/device icon

**MOST_WASTED** · October 14th, 2014 07:24 PM

does anyone know which DLL carries the phone icon in the "my computer" page when connecting a cellphone? i've changed the ones in imageres.dll, DDORes.dll, and also checked shell32.dll but this icon just wont change. i've also cleared the icon cache before all this was done. thanks in advance for any help

Hmm i was thinking that imageres.dll number 66 will do the trick for you , but since you already change it and get no effect then i hope i'll see myself right anwser for this case also, sorry i can't help with this, btw you are on Windows 7 right!?

I've noticed that the device icons never change for me either on my windows 8.1.1 comp. No matter which theme I use the device icons never change. I figured it must've been a hardware/manufacturer/OS thing causing that, so I never thought much of it. I gotta admit though, it is kinda weird.

Ok after some searching. I have found this article on 7forums. Not sure if it works. I have not tried it but maybe it will point you in the right direction.

looks like a good explanation for use on windows 7. Not sure though since I run windows 8.1.1 Also, if anyone ever gets a chance to see if this will work with windows 8/8.1/8.1.1 please let me know the results. I'd like to try this but don't have a virtual drive to test it with anymore and with my comp's history it's better to just wait to see if someone else has managed to figure it out.
