i don't use TweakUI, but dial-a-fix has a similar feature . the Kelly's Korner thing didn't work but yours did. the only thing that doesn't work is the thumbnail preview(the top part when you set the folder to thumbnails), but that's never worked so...

recently, i downloaded an image pack from deviantart(nice and black too) and i saw that there was an icon for the .ico file. so i changed the icon for all .ico files via "Folder Options" in control panel. now here's the issue. normal .ico files show the custom .ico custom icon before explorer loads the real icons. HOWEVER, .ico files that have a compressed PNG inside them(see screenshot below) don't even load. what's weird about that is that they used to load before, but not anymore. so does anyone know a fix for that or do i have to do a system restore? the image: http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/8431/sshot19fv4.png edit: bleh. the "Icon/Cursor Load Options" thingy was supposed to be on top of the other windows. oh well

i've heard that VLC is just a broken version of ffmpeg. i tried VLC once and i absolutely hated it. it showed purple instead of white subtitles, it has a crappy GUI(what's with the volume control?), and it has even crashed once. for me, ffdshow(latest build) and Media Player Classic(latest build) work wonders.

so what you're saying is that you use Windows Media Player 10. allrighty then; i got it.

ditto. it looks horrible in Windows Classic

...your school must suck for not teaching you that . i believe the age requirement is 18

i don't since i'm not a citizen

Vienna's probably gonna be the same as Vista(if not worse). why use the Fraunhofer MP3 Encoder? LAME ,i believe, is better.

themes? if by themes you mean skins, then there is a way to import then. just put the skin in the "themes" folder.

...are you talking about Windows Vista Home Basic? because that version of Vista will not have Aero. Windows Vista Home Premium will however.

neiberaaron: that would work if he actually knew what he needs to set a file assosciation to. back on topic: which browser are you using? from that messagebox, i can only tell that the file which was no assosciated was a "url:" one. if you're using Firefox, Opera, and maybe others, there's an option to set the file assosciations so that RocketDock can work properly. at RocketDock: i've tried it once and i absolutely hated it. it didn't have one good skin(out of all the 20 or w/e number that it has), it flickered a lot(i guess GDI+'s fault), and it didn't show if the application was active even though it hooks a dll into every program that it launches. if you're gonna inject a dll into a program and not display if it's active, then what's the point of even having that dll in the first place? for a dock, i use the latest RK Launcher nightly build. it works like a charm and doesn't give me any problems. i also use the realdock skin which is nice as well.

"Uninstall Tool". the icon can be found on my dock next to the picture of the UK flag. i use it instead of CCleaner now because i only used CCleaner for uninstalling programs(Add/Remove is extremely slow).

Dirty: Clean: i got rid of CCleaner and i got a new program that does my needs. it also removed a LOT of things from my computer. gave the HD a few gigs of free space

when i saw that, it just scared me. the black woman in the yellow dress doesn't seem like she liked her though.

remember that it's still in beta

RK Launcher crashing? that's weird. i'm using the larest nightly build and it hasn't been crashing at all here. as for RocketDock, i gave it a go and i didn't like it a lot. the skins there weren't that great and it also didn't show if the process(like Opera) is currently being used. it also flickered randomly at times. so RocketDock is not for me. as for editing the shell32.dll file, ResHacker is the only tool that actually works. i've tried TGTSoft's ResEdit and some program called XM Resource Editor and none of them were able to replace the images inside.

the help and support service is close to useless. that's why i have it disabled as for the service that needs to be started it's called "DCOM Server Process Launcher"

http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/AVG-...load-48738.html anyone feel like trying this one out?

the latest version of PerfectDisk is 7.0.....

agreed. especially with their new exploding laptops

i did, but i didn't find anything there relating to changing the default icon(i just skimmed through the posts anyways). Glenn: i'll try that. thanks! edit:editing that registry entry didnt do it

i believe that's the GUI version for it . there's no point for a GUI in batch scripts.

i already have PLUNTY of replacement icons. but i still need to know if it's possible to replace the yellow one by not hacking the shell32.dll file or using any programs.
