Add-Remove Program Icons all wrong!

[Guest]

I'm using XP Home. When I go to Add/Remove Programs, the icons
associated with the different programs are all wrong. Is there a way
I can change those icons? How about changing the text that
accompanies each entry?

Not sure if there is an easier method, but this one also works:

Open Registry Editor and navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\<Program name>

In the right-pane, create a new REG_SZ (String) value named 'DisplayIcon' and assign it's value to the full path where the program's exe file resides. [example;; C:\Program Files\AIM95\aim.exe]

Restart Add/Remove, it should now take the Program.exe's 0th icon resource.

That's great information. What if it want it to take the 4th icon in
a custom icon.dll I have?

Type "programname.exe,4" instead of "programname.exe"
