    I want several Icons to work on Win7. On XP I use several Icons to make it easier keep track of Folders and not need to read what it says under the folders. It is difficult to find a way to use Icons on Win7. I have been using Icons from ICONS.DLL and PIFMGR.DLL. I cannot use these Icons in Win7. I can use Foods and Cartoons Icons. These are not what I had in mind. I would appreciate any help.

    Have you browsed the icons at %SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll and at C:\Windows\system32\imageres.dll ?

    I checked SHELL32.dll and imageres.dll and both seem to be part of Windows. I do not see anything in there that fits what I want. I have Googled Icons and also do not find much of what I want. Icons.dll and pifmgr.dll in XP is closer to what I want. I do not know how to find anything even close, like that, to working on WIN7.
