WIN7 Landscaping Strategy: Replace Imageres.dll, the icons are all changed

Veterans who play windows are aware that the Windows system's own default icons (Recycle Bin, computer, control Panel, and so on) are stored in some DLL files inside the Windows/system32 folder of the system disk (typically C) Several system files, such as Imageres.dll, Shell32.dll and Moricons.dll.

In the era of Vista and Win7, Moricons.dll is forgotten, for example, the icon inside is very old style, the new system has not been used in this icon

In Shell32.dll, the icons used in the Windows XP era are preserved-

After entering the Vista and Win7 era, the system's icons are mainly stored in the Imageres.dll-

Therefore, this tutorial, for example, for Windows 7 system, mainly to how to replace the third party or their own imageres.dll files, to achieve a big change in the System icon!

　　First, get administrator ownership of the C:windowssystem32imageres.dll

Imageres.dll is a Windows system file that must obtain the administrator and ownership permissions for the file when it is deleted, overwritten, renamed, moved, and so on-

1, first open the Rubik's cube (official download site), click on the above landscaping to run the Magic cube Landscaping master;

2, click to beautify the master above the right button menu customization;

3, click on the left side of the Add right menu items;

4, check the administrator to obtain ownership (files, folders);

5, click Application;

Steps as shown in the following figure--

This way, when you right-click on any file or folder, there is a menu item on the top of the right button-"admin takes ownership".

6, in the C:windowssystem32, click on the Imageres.dll file on the right mouse button, click on the menu "Administrator to get ownership", as shown in the following figure-

7, then will pop up a command line to run the UAC System prompt dialog box, point "yes" can be.

This completes the acquisition of Imageres.dll administrator ownership, which is valid for any system files or other files and folders.

If you do not like the right button menu has this access to the ownership of the menu item, and then to the Rubik's Cube inside the project tick selected.

Second, the use of their own or third party other people made good Imageres.dll files replaced the original system

Soft media will then release Third-party Imageres.dll files, so that everyone look at the replacement effect, more than 150 system icons have been replaced, this feeling is unmatched. Own computer, of course, and others are different:

After acquiring ownership, you can copy the Third-party Imageres.dll to the C:windowssystem32 folder.

For example, this time I fancy the following imageres.dll, inside the icon part of the screenshot below--

Replace system files, what is the first thing to do?

1, Backup: The original c:windowssystem32 under the Imageres.dll file renamed Imageres_backup.dll or Imageres_ original. dll, etc. you can remember this is the name of the original document. In this case, if there is any accident, the backup file renamed back. When renamed, the system will also be prompted, what file access is denied, you need to provide administrator privileges to rename the file, click Continue on it, as shown in the following figure

2, the external imageres.dll paste or drag in, this time if you open the Windows7 or Vista UAC, you will also encounter system prompts, the target folder access is denied, you need to provide administrator privileges to move to this folder, and here also click on it. The document was successfully pasted in.

What do you do after the replacement file is finished? Well, to update the system icon cache

Hey, why hasn't it come into effect? replace this file.

Don't worry, Windows icons are all cached, and Vista and Windows7 's system cache is notoriously powerful.
