Win7 beautification strategy: replace imageres.dll, icon full variant

The old birds who play Windows system know that the Windows system's own default icons (recycle bin, computer, control panel, etc.) are saved in the system disk ( Generally, some DLL files in the Windows/System32 folder of the C drive) include several system files such as ——imageres.dll, shell32.dll, and moricons.dll.

In the era of Vista and Win7, moricons.dll was forgotten. For example, the icons inside are very old styles. The new system can't use the icon inside. ——< Br>

In the shell32.dll, the icons commonly used in the Windows XP era are kept ——

Entering the era of Vista and Win7 After that, the system icons are mainly stored in imageres.dll ——

Therefore, this tutorial is for Windows 7 system as an example, mainly to replace third parties or Make your own imageres.dll file to make the system icon change!

First, get administrator ownership of C:\\Windows\\System32\\imageres.dll

imageres.dll is a Windows system file, delete, overwrite, rename, move, etc. You must first obtain the administrator and ownership rights for the file ——

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

2, click on the right-click menu customization on the landscaping master;

3, click on the right-click menu item on the left;

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

5, click on the application;

The steps are as follows: ——

This way, right click on any file and folder At the top of the right-click menu, there is an additional menu item ——“Administrator takes ownership”.

6. Under C:\\Windows\\System32\\, right-click on the imageres.dll file and click on “Administrator Takes Ownership” in the menu, as shown below ——< Br>

7, then a UAC system prompt dialog box will pop up to run the command line, click "Yes".

This completes the administrator ownership of imageres.dll. The above steps are valid for any system files or other files and folders.

If you don't like the menu item that has ownership in the right-click menu, you can tick the item in the cube.

Second, replace the original imageres.dll file with your own or third-party others. The original

software will then release the third-party imageres.dll file for everyone to see and replace. After the effect, more than 150 system icons have been replaced, this feeling is still unbeatable. Your own computer, of course, must be different from others:)

After obtaining ownership, you can copy the third-party imageres.dll to the c:\\windows\\system32 folder.

For example, I have taken a look at the following imageres.dll, and the screenshots of the icons are as follows: ——

Replacing system files, first What is the matter?

1. Backup: Rename the original imageres.dll file under c:\\windows\\system32 to imageres_backup.dll or imageres_ original.dll. You can remember this is the name of the original file. In this way, in case of any accident, rename the backed up file. When changing the name, the system will also prompt, what file access is denied, you need to provide administrator privileges to rename this file, click to continue, as shown below ——

2. Paste or drag the external imageres.dll. If you open Windows 7 or Vista UAC at this time, you will also encounter the system prompt, the target folder access is denied, you need to provide management. The privilege can be moved to this folder, and you can click Continue here. The document was successfully pasted and finished.

Three, what do you do after the replacement file is completed? Why didn't it take effect? Well, to update the system icon cache
