Right click > properties > Change icon button. Desplays old XP ico

"Hi i upgraded from windows XP to Vista ULT."
*If i right click on a folder to change its icon property.
*The viewer opens and desplays icons from windows XP.
*Changing my icon or selecting basic icons such as "folder" (when applied)
will show as Vista icons.
*If there is no vista counterpart icon then it will apply that icon from the
list.
*How would one see Vista icons [in the change icon preview] window and not
old icons from XP.

Which file is showing in the "Look for icons in this file" box at the top of
the dialog?

For XP, the default was Shell32.dll and for Vista, it should be
Imageres.dll. Use the browse button to select the Imageres.dll file and this
shopuld show the Vista default icons.

When you click to change an icon, the file that holds the current icon for
the folder is displayed.

Hi Kitkat

I don't think there is a way to change which file will be shown in that
dialog, by default. It is programmed to show whatever file the current icon
resides in.
