But as this dll is used by a lot of Windows processes there is no way you can save the changes, at least not as I know. I tried a lot of tools that can edit dll resources but none of them was able to show the available icons, except for one. The icons used in File Explorer are referenced to shell32.dll. I managed to replace all icons from imageres.dll manually, one by one using Restorator tool but the icons from this dll are only used when a File Dialog or File Browser is displayed. ![]() If you are still not able to see some of the icons rebuild the icon's cache using this tutorial.
