Another thing I don’t think is common knowledge, you can create your own icons. I use Microsoft Paint, resize the image to 32×32 pixels, then save it as *.ico.

[...] this week I wrote about making use of the Windows Icon Set embedded in system DLL files. While this can be handy, it becomes somewhat of a burden finding the right DLL file with the icons [...]

Yea, I’ve been using different icons for my desktop; problem is, how do ya keep them there? Every couple of weeks my “custom” icons mysteriously revert back to the standard IE icon for internet shortcuts.File shortcuts remain the same, so it must involve something to do with how I save something, right?
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I found the following files on Windows XP:

compstui.dll
comres.dll
cscdll.dll
dmdskres.dll
dsuiext.dll
ieframe.dll (seems to be part of Internet Explorer 7)
inetcplc.dll
LMUIRes.dll
mmcndmgr.dll
mstsc.exe
mstscax.dll
netshell.dll
pifmgr.dll
progman.exe (good old Program Manager)
setupapi.dll
setupdll.dll
shdocvw.dll
spmipc.dll
syssetup.dll
upnpui.dll
urlmon.dll
wiashext.dll
wmploc.dll
xpsp2res.dll

These are not the only ones but are the ones I found more useful. No guarantee that they will all be present in your system.
