Aqua-Soft Forumsis there a way to change the Preview icons of pictures??
Changing stubborn preview icons
Is this what you mean?
http://www.aqua-soft.org/board/showthread....hlight=Xentient
It's got a limit though
not entirely what i mean. if you go and switch your viewing to "Icons", and you look at image files, you see a little icon stating a little picture (NOT A PREVIEW OF THE IMAGE) and the image extension. do you want to see an SS?
Any screenshot?
i only want to change the preview icon of .PNG images. IconTweaker doesn't seem to include them. it only includes GIF, BMP, JPEG, and i think that's ridiculous. I try to use iColor Folder, but when i change the icon, it says "changes will take effect after a reboot". If i restart my comp, the icon doesn't even change... do you know any other Plugins for IconTweaker?
Open a window and click on Folder Options then click on filetypes.
where's that? if i click on "change a folder" all i can change is....a folder.
Go to C:Program FilesIcontweakerData
Open Files.xml in notepad or xml editor. Add the following code directly below the Tags. * Please note that the only code I changed was for XP/2003. PNG support should now be available from IconTweaker
<PngImage>
<itd:DisplayName>PNG Image</itd:DisplayName>
<itd:DefaultIcon>
<itd:Win95>%System%mshtml.dll,9</itd:Win95>
<itd:Win98>

what exactly do u mean "right below"? in between them or...i dont know.
After the final tag .
thx for that but its not rly what i want. here's an ss: 
I see. Have had this issue myself. Look at the individual Icon file and make sure it has a 72px icon in it. If not, MS for some reason defaults down to the 64px.
So how could i fix it? I try to use iColor Folder, but when i do change it and restart, the icon is still the same. Do you have another one of those code things for XML or...something around there? I'm also wondering if you could give me the...i guess XML file to change Fonts & .ICO files
You need to make sure each icon includes a 72px. If not then use AveIconifier or AveDrop to convert a 128px png into the appropriate icon.
i have a huge 50MB collection of icons, so the sizes aren't the problem. The problem is actually being able to use them, because IconTweaker has only limited abilites...
This isn't an IconTweaker issue. It would present itself with any other icon package program. Some Icons are release going up to only 48px in size and others are released including up to 128px.
Some icon artists make each respective size separately and some resize larger images down. My preference has been to find png's and convert myself. Smaller icons though become somewhat pixelated.
50mb is nothing I'm over 6 GB. 
well i know for a fact its not a problem with the icons. thats not possible. anyways, do you have any other tweaks for the XML file?

It's not about the icon sizes. He just wants to change the freakin' icon.
yes thank you, that is what i'm saying. sizes don't concern me!
Control Panel > Folder Options > Tab: File Types > Scroll for the extension you are looking for (JPEG, GIF, etc) > Advanced Options > Change Icon.

No need to get your panties in a bunch.
Since he mentioned IconTweaker. I provided the way to do that earlier. See the image.
Edit: I've attached the xml file I use. Back up the original Files.xml doc then Extract into C:Program FilesIconTweakerData
i....don't see anything different.
Just tried changing mine both ways. Via File Extension Advanced settings & Icontweaker. Neither worked for me because I have Gimp associated (in registry) with png filetype's.
For some reason this interferes & resets.
Edit: I'm not sure if I'll get to hunting down specific registry keys & writing actual plugins. I contacted Joost almost a year ago to help but, never heard back. So, Here's a link to a good start
and this means what? lol
you're on your own.
I most likely come up with a specific plugin but, I've got a busy month ahead. Doc appts, depositions, etc. etc. blah blah blah.
