I have looked and found that within Vista there are some icons avaliable in different files such as imageres.dll and SHELL32.dll. However, how can I globally obtain the ability to allow change to all folders so that I can use better icons on the various folders, shortcuts and the like?

Hope you've got all day/night :p

From memory, it would do what you want.

I can't be certain, as I didn't get around to running it then (the d/l was one of those "fit of enthusiasm late at night" acts) and it became victim to a drastic cleanout when I needed space.
I've sometimes wondered about giving it another try, so would be interested to hear if you do find it successful.
