WARNING: There is a chance you could mess up your Windows install by doing this. Also, I'm sure this will trigger every single anticheat on this planet. There is also a chance that unknown issues will occur.
Well, as it turns out, it is possible to modify user32's icons after all... This has been done by modifying the CI.DLL (Code Integrity) file to ignore invalid signatures, like the one you'll get on User32.dll after modifying it. Con: You need to manually select Disable Driver Signature Enforcement on each boot. This could also cause other, unknown issues.
I am also attaching a pre-patched ci.dll for 1803 only.
Attachments:ci.dll (710.31 KB)

Somewhat off-topic, but that BetaWorld tutorial seems quite useful. (While the top of the page is all in Chinese, there is an English translation if you scroll down.) I always wanted to know how to seamlessly nuke Code Integrity.
ALSO THIS MEANS YOU CAN MAKE ANY MODIFICATION TO SYSTEM FILES, NOT JUST CHANGING ICONS!!!!

When i tried this, modded Explorer still didn't want to open. I'd imagine further modifications to ci.dll are needed for that to work.

Does anyone know why MUI trick doesn't work for user32.dll?

Does anyone know why MUI trick doesn't work for user32.dll? The few icons that are embedded in user32 are usually displayed in a context where MUI is not used. MUI only performs resource direction if it's initialised within a process, if I understand correctly. |
