Esteban And where do you suppose the custom icons are stored locally when they do work correctly I'll try later on to create a branded icon and trace it. Browsing through the Favorites folder I see that you can change icons from a limited list. File name for all says C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\url.dll I hope we are talking about the same "Favorites" :).I'm wondering what list you are referring to and how you arrived there. C:\Windows\Favorites stores all your Internet Shortcuts aka Favorites and all icons can be changed. Ed

For more icons, look in C:\WINDOWS\MorIcons.DLL Icons can be stored singly in an .ICO file or multiply. To locate an icon, two things are needed, the file name and the icon location within that file. When icon choices are displayed, the icon count begins at zero. Cheers, PW. moricons.dll

More Icon stuff... I’ve been looking through my system for icons beyond what's found in MorIcons.DLL, and found more than I expected. When selecting a replacement icon for a shortcut, right click, select Properties, Program tab, and Change Icon … button. You’ll be presented with a default file and a window of icons this file contains. You’ll also have the opportunity to select a different icon file. Trouble is, how does one know which files contain icons? In short, they don’t. Earlier, I posted a hint for finding them. Here’s the results of that method when used on my machine… COOL.DLL – Over forty general purpose icons PIFMGR.DLL – Lots of neat icons QUARTZ.DLL – Ten multimedia and music icons SHELL32.DLL – Too many to count, and a good variety SYNCUI.DLL – Ten folder(ish) icons ARTGALRY.DLL – A dozen really neat icons in a hard to find file MSTASK.DLL – A half dozen (Clocky) icons SHDOCVW.DLL – Thirty-eight OK icons MSHTML.DLL – Twenty-two ho-hum icons MYDOCS.DLL - My Document folder icon OCCACHE.DLL - Four dull icons RNAUI.DLL – Seven modem/dial-up icons SENDMAIL.DLL – One (envelope) icon FONTEXT.DLL – Four icons for fonts DATACLEN.DLL – One icon of a broom and disk SHSCRAP.DLL – One icon of a torn paper URL.DLL – Four OK icons SHDOCVW.DLL – Same icons as file with same name above ITSS.DLL – One interesting icon INETFIND.DLL – Internet Explorer search icon WABFIND.DLL – One icon of colourful open book Some of these files contain one or a few icons. The odd file in the list contains a ton of icons. Someone with ambition and spare time may wish to describe the contents further Again, these are the files I found on my system. Others will undoubtedly have a different list, although I’d expect many similarities. Absent from this list are the icon files for non-Microsoft applications. If I find an easy way of catching them, I’ll post it. Cheers, PW.
