[HELP] Changed icons refused to show.

Hi guys, here's a problem that's been bothering me for weeks. I'm using IconPackager to change some of the system icons that i don't like. You can see that the icons are changed here:

Now if i run Exploerer, the icons are still changed:

The thing is, if i run something like Paint Shop Pro or IE and try to open or save a file, i see the original icons that i had already changed:

I wonder what i'm doing wrong or if there's just something wrong with my system. I hope i've illustrated the problem well enough. If anyone can help please advise me, thank you so much !~

Find iconcache.db (hidden/system file) and delete that.

Relativity_17: I've deleted iconcache.db, however no go, the problem still persists.

I think those icons are controlled by shell32.dll - but I may be wrong, either that or the 16x16 icons aren't defined properly

Thanks, Tricky/Unbeliever and now i know....i always thought those icons could be changed.

Thanks, Tricky/Unbeliever and now i know....i always thought those icons could be changed.

They can be changed, but you have to do it from within the shell32.dll file itself, which can be a tricky endeavor if you aren't relatively experienced with system file modification.
