Control Panel Icons

How to Change a Icon in the Control Panel in Vista​

information   Information
This will show you how to change most of the classic view Control Panel icons listed below to whatever you want them to be.
Note   Note
To change the icons back to their default (original) icons, see the post below for a list of the original default paths, and then follow these same steps.

See: Control Panel Icons

warning   Warning
The icons you decide to use must be a 256x256 .ico icon file (not .PNG) to be used in Vista without any viewing problems with a larger size. A PNG file must be converted to a 256x256 ICO file before it can be used. To convert a PNG to ICO you must use a program such as this free 30 day trial program called Axialis IconWorkshop: Axialis IconWorkshop Download Page . Here's a good location for some icons: deviantArt: Dock Icons
Tip   Tip
For a common Control Panel Problem, see: Microsoft Help and Support: Icons are missing from Control Panel, or you cannot start Control Panel, the Welcome Center, or games in Windows Vista

5. Right click on DefaultIcon (in left pane) and click on Properties. (See screenshot below)​

​
Right Click.jpg​

6. Here's the window to start taking ownership. (See screenshot below) Open another tab or window in IE and go to How to Take Ownership of an Item in Vista and follow instructions for method two step 3.​
​

7. When you have taken ownership. Right click on (Default) in the right pane and click on Modify. (See screenshot below step 5)​
​
8. Type in your new icon's full file path and press OK. (See screenshot below)​
NOTE: Your Icon has been changed in Control Panel. If not, then you didn't take ownership of DefaultIcon and you will need to repeat these steps.​

Hi brink,

Thanks for this guide :)

I would like to know if it is possible to change the icons of Control Panel(the one in the start menu), Hard Disk & DVD Drives?

Thanks again! :D

niGht kiD,

From the PM you sent me:
It took me a bit to track it down, but I found a way to change a drive icon in the registry. I wrote up a tutorial on it. Here is the link for you.

What if an unidentified icon with no name has appeared in the Control Panel? It looks like a piece of paper with an empty comment balloon superimposed on it. How can I find it's name and location?

Hi Mberry,

It sounds similar to the Text to Speech icon. Did you install anything before it appeared? See if highlighting it will let you see the name. You can also right click on it and click Create Shortcut for the desktop, then right click on the shortcut (on desktop) and click Properties to see if it will give you a name.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Hi Claustrawberry,

Sorry, I have not found the Mouse icon yet. :(

I like the Mighty Mouse idea though. ;)

Hay Shawn, have you havd any luck in finding how to change the "View 32-bit Control Panel Items" icon? For some strange reason, when I changed the control panel Icon using your tutorial, the one in the start menu didn't change, all the other ones did, including the one on the desktop, just the start menu one and the 32-bit didn't change. Perhaps windows might be using a different registry key indicating the location of the icon. Got any clues where I could find it?

Please reply ASAP
Raashid

yes it sure is handy, and by the way another way you could tryfinding the location of the icons is by going to the control panel in classic view, and right click on the icon you want to change and select create short-cut, when you create the shortcut, right cilck on it and select properties, then try changing the icon and you will be shown the current location of the icon :)
