Explorer.exe

When you change icons in Vista you can use the ones embedded in files like explorer.exe and imageres.dll. I just went to change my "Computer" icon and this window came up showing the icons available in explorer.exe (Screenshot Attached). Is this normal? Are there supposed to be XP icons in Vista explorer.exe?

Thanks

Thanks, I just wanted to make sure that a program I installed didn't screw with my system files.

Now the real question I have is: Why are those icons included in Vista?

You can change your theme to Windows classic in Personalization so I am assuming that is why the icons are there.

I don't know because when you use windows classic none of those icons are actually used either.
