The icons are grouped by default and any customisation is ignored. You must ungroup them with Explorer Patcher and then you can customize them with Customizer God or other suitable utilities.
The appropriate system files are:
batmeter.dll.mun for power icons
imageres.dll.mun for folder and many other icons
pnidui.dll for network icons
SndVolSSO.dll.mun for sound icons
stobject.dll.mun for the USB safe removal icon
The
pnidui.dll file is in
C:\Windows\System32 folder
All
.mun files are in
C:\Windows\SystemResources folder and cannot be modified directly. You must copy the files in another folder, modify them and then take ownership and full access to replace them. After you have modified the copies, you must change the owner of both the folder
SystemResources and each file separately from
TrustedInstaller to
Administrators group. Then you must modify permissions and grant full access to the folder and each file separately. While Explorer is running you cannot replace the files, so open a Command Prompt as Administrator and kill the Explorer task (end task) from Task Manager, Details. Now type this code:
Code:
C:
cd \
cd \windows\systemresources
ren batmeter.dll.mun batmeter.dll.mun.old
copy \temp\batmeter.dll.mun .
explorer
exit
The code assumes you have the modified copies in
C:\temp folder, change it as appropriate. Replace the
batmeter.dll.mun line with the other filenames to replace the rest files before executing the
explorer line to load Explorer again.
