Hey guys, I downloaded some new Icons for MOffice, but I don't know how to change the old ones to the new ones. Anyone can help me?

Hi DidCart and welcome to CrystalXP

You can't right-click and change the icon for MS Office so what many do is use a program called IconTweaker.  This will allow to change most system icons.  I'm sure you can change these icons too.  If this doesn't work you can try ResEdit.

Here are the links:

I will try ResEdit...
IconTweaker I don't know how to use... if anyone can show me a tutorial, I'll be glad.

Edit:         ----------

Hi DidCart and Welcome to Crystal XP

If you haven't figured a way to do what you want yet, Have a look at here

Hey guys,

Thanks.. I had the same problem and you just helped me fix it...

Thanks also for the links to those programs.... I wanted to change other program icons aswell...

You're Welcome lholmes

we're so glad to be helpful

lol.... Does ResEdit let you change the Back, Forward, Up, Search and Favorite icons in Windows Explorer?

Well, you can do that if you modify shell32.dll with ResEdit
But there is a nice gadjet called Y'z toolbar which will allow you to change these icons (pictures )
Whan you install the application you can find many theme suites for it and customise many as you can
(oh! did I mention that you can also create yours? )

Neil, thanks a ton....

You've been a great help....  and thanks for the y'z toolbar...

Great to know you found a solution

Can someone give me a hand with learning ResEdit?

I tried IconTweaker but it doesn't do Program Icons (or I can't get it to) and I can't figure out how to change the actual icon fo a program through ResEdit... (not the shortuct icon though)

You can have a look at here to see what ResEdit can do (changing the msoeres.dll/shell32.dll)
It's really hard to explain what ResEdit can do since it does a lot

Thanks... I also look for more tutorials....

Yes, I'm looking around for them too, quite a hard program to use at first.  It took me a while just to figure out exactly what was going on

Thank you

Hehe Draginol... I am like sooo confused... I know nothing at all with ResEdit... I still have like no clue...

Well, ResEdit is a software with you can have a look at your system resources (.dll, .exe stc...) and not like you see them by default, you can change some charactoristics of them

Example The windows icons are mostly located in shell32.dll in C>Windows>System32 folder. You can use Resedit and open that .dll with the application and add some icons you deserve and save it. (actually, you have to save it in another place and replace the original later )

shell32.dll not only contins icons but the AVI files for 'Moving', 'Copying', ect.. and the logoff dialog backgrounds and butons and many more

It's really fun (well, for me it is ) to hack in to your own system and maintain it to be what you want for a greater extent.

But I must say that there is a Risk coming with this because you've to be always accurate and careful otherwise there will be no excuse

I must say Neil, your screenshot I saw did look very custom and cool. Maybe you could setup like a 'Custom Desktop' pack Could be good?

I'm sorry but what screenshot are you tlking about??

The one you sent me through the PM system

Please, if you want to talk about something which come from a PM, write a PM to Neil !

A forum isn't chat room or instant messaging system !

Sorry

If you have your own icons, and you want to change the Office icons(im assuming so you can see them on your dock or desktop), locate the actual file(ie. If you want to change your Word icon got to c>program files>Microsoft Office>Winword) and right click on it and create a shortcut to the desktop. You will be able to edit this new icon as you can change it to whatever design you want.
