I have tried that(tweakui) but since my xp doesn't have sp1 installed,
it can't read the file or i get an error. i cant install sp1 either
cause my dad dont want it. is there another way of fixing it?
by the way, those are the default icons with the icon package i have
installed and even if i do unload iconpackager and revert to windows
default it still displays windows generic icons. but the shortcuts in
the start menu are working fine.
