i would answer but well i can't understand what you said. if you mean you see the old icon in the word window you need microangelo to do that or reshacker and either way it doesn't always work. make sure to back word up first.

i read your post again and i think i might understand it. if you mean folder icons in the word open/save dialog try editing shell32.dll itself (please note it is VERY DANGEROUS AND MAKE SURE YOU BACK IT UP!!! IF YOU ARE NOT SURE HOW OR WANT OSX ICONS GET SOMETHING LIKE FLYAKITE'S SYSTEM FILES!

He means he small 16 x 16 icons in he open/save dialog box windows. Yeah like TheBigB said you have to use reshacker to change those icons.

yes,I mean folder icons in the word open/save dialog.But my window is chinese traditional version,so i think Flyakite's shell32.dll is not fit my window.Is there any software can help me ?

The only software I know is reshacker or replacer.......

This is something i hopes to see fixed on IconPackager soon... but, i guess it will never be, sad... if they fix this, probably i change to IconPackager without a thought.

It's pretty simple. First, you will have to create a copy of the file you want to modify. It's best if you put it on your desktop for right now. Open ResHacker and open the Copied file. The icons are held in two different places; "Icon" and "Icon Group" Modify the "Icon Group" first to see if any do not get changed in the "Icon" tree. So expand the "Icon Group", find the icon you want to replace, and remember the number on the "Folder" it is in. Select Action -> Replace Icon. Choose which icon you want to replace in the "Select Icon to Replace" menu. Click the "Open File With New Icon" menu and navigate to the file you want to replace the existing one with. Click Open and Replace. After your done, replace all of the icons you want go to File -> Save. Make sure you make a backup just in case when it prompts you.

Now: For replaceing your modifies system files over the existing system files, go to this tutorial http://www.jonmega.com/iceman/stuff/tutori...acing_sysfiles/

you could also try this.

get restorator.

drag the icons/bitmaps, etc. from a modded shell32.dll into your chinese shell32.dll. you're pretty much copying all the mods without having to replace every single entry yourself.

then you can replace the file.

i don't know if it's possible on a non-english system, but there's a program called replacer that can help you replace files: http://www3.telus.net/_/replacer/
