Have you wondered why Windows icons looks so dry and boring? You can uncover the windows' secret stash of icons. We'll show you how. Right-click any shortcut and select Properties. Select the Shortcut tab and click on the Advance Settings button.

You are now required to type in the full path of where your icon library is situated. The default (and boring) file is C:\windows\system\shell32.dll. Try some of these:

C:\Windows\System\explorer.exe
C:\Program Files\Plus!\Microsoft Internet\IEXPLORE.EXE
C:\Windows\System\cool.dll
and our favourite:

C:\Windows\System\pifmgr.dll
