Hi Ed,
I want to add a few custom made icons to %SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll.
Does anyone know where I go to - that is: the folder/file to which
SHELL32.dll points?
Not sure I follow. You cannot add any more icons to Shell32.DLL. It is a
compiled resource: the icons which Shell32.dll exports, were embedded into
the DLL file when it was compiled. After it is compiled, it is fixed; it
cannot be changed (well, not without a lot of dangerous, messy low-level
hacking).
If you have a customised icon, just save it as an *.ico file. Windows can
use ICO files in most places where it would use on of the embedded icons
from Shell32.DLL, Moreicons.dll etc. The *.ico files can be saved in any
directory where the user wull have read access.
Hope it helps.
