Windows Files That Contain Icons
July 3rd, 2012
If you’ve ever tried to change an icon under Windows (for a folder or shortcut, for example), the icon selection dialog defaults to the shell32.dll file. Admittedly, shell32.dll contains a lot of good icons, but sometimes you just need a better selection. Here’s a list of 17 Windows 7 files that contain an additional 1200+ icons (note: I imagine many of these are valid for other versions of Windows):
C:\Windows\explorer.exeC:\Windows\System32\accessibilitycpl.dllC:\Windows\System32\ddores.dllC:\Windows\System32\gameux.dllC:\Windows\System32\imageres.dllC:\Windows\System32\moricons.dllC:\Windows\System32\mmcndmgr.dllC:\Windows\System32\mmres.dllC:\Windows\System32\netcenter.dllC:\Windows\System32\netshell.dllC:\Windows\System32\networkexplorer.dllC:\Windows\System32\pifmgr.dllC:\Windows\System32\pnidui.dllC:\Windows\System32\sensorscpl.dllC:\Windows\System32\setupapi.dllC:\Windows\System32\wmploc.dllC:\Windows\System32\wpdshext.dll
