ActivIcons 2.4

I used Transparent 4.0 for quite awhile and then someone turned me on to ActivIcons. This is a great freebie that allows you to a lot of control over your icons. It also increases the size of the icon cache for those folks who are having the "Mysterious Changing Icon Problem"

ActivIcons lets you:

  • switch your own, custom icons for Network Neighborhood, My Computer, and other icons which Windows places on your desktop and Explorer file manager;
  • quickly change the default Windows mouse cursors;
  • make the icon text labels transparent;
  • change the color of the text below the icons;
  • rebuild the Windows icon cache;
  • increase the size of the system icon cache;
  • replace various drive and folder icons (both the default icons and individual drive and folder icons*);
  • remove shortcut symbols;
  • save and restore your desktop's icon layout;
  • and more.
