Windows 10: How to change icons in start menu?

I'v installed an ipack icon pack but the start menu never changed. I did something in my registry that changed my quick action icon by taking ownership and running a .reg file. Is there something I can do to change the start menu icons to the ones in the ipack I installed?

How To Change Desktop Icons in Windows 10

Hi,


Thank you for bringing up your query on Microsoft Community.

I understand the inconvenience caused, now that you have me with you let me take care of this.

• 
  Have you made any changes to the computer prior to this issue?
  

Let us try to create a new user account and check if the issue persist:

• Press Windows logo key +R, and type
  ms-settings: and then press OK. This opens Settings.
• Select Accounts > Other users.
• Under Other users, select Add someone else to this PC.
• At the bottom of the page, select I don’t have this person’s sign-in information.
• At the bottom of the next page, select Add a user without a Microsoft account.
• Enter a name for the new account. If you want this person to sign in with a password, enter and verify the password, add a password hint, then select
  Next.
• Select Finish.

Hope it helps.



Let us know the status, we are glad to assist you further.

 

Hello @treypop , welcome to tenforums! *Smile

What icons are you referring to, Apps, Win32 programs, folders?
Could you share a screenshot or two indicating your desires?

 

I'm wanting the icons in my start menu to be the same as the icon pack I have installed.

 

I take it you mean those ugly manila folder icons?
Can't do it! *Sad
Only way you'll achieve a workaround is to make shortcuts of those folders, but they'll only be shortcuts not actual cascading folders! *Sad
(Been workin on it for ages!) *Wink

 

Even if I replace my imageres.dll ?

 

Tried it! I don't think they reside in imageres.dll, I think they're written up in a manifest somewhere!

 

How hard would it be to find that manifest?
