IconPackager is a program that allows users to change nearly all of their Windows icons at once by applying "packages" of icons. A package of icons contains icons to replace most of the common icons on your Windows PC.

Overview:
What makes IconPackager special is that unlike Microsoft's themes which only change a few icons, IconPackager changes hundreds of icons. A package of icons contains icons to replace most of the common icons on your Windows PC.

Everything from "My Computer", "Recycle Bin", Folders, all the way to specific file format icons such as .doc and .xls files and any other file type a user wishes to use. With its shell integration, IconPackager also allows users browsing through their system to right-click on any file and go to the added "Icon" tab and change the icon.

Note: I wish to add that this is not the installer that stardock releases. I made a custom msi using the iconpackager files and I have tested and it works for me.

I patched 2 of the main executables and the shellext.dll files myself. For the dll file which allows you to change icons from the context menu, I had to get help from the earlier patch for 3.2 to see the code that was changed. The executables were sort of simple to patch and someone had posted files from the enhanced version of Iconpackager 4.0 in this forum earlier which I have used. However, since it was still prompting for the activation code, i used w32dasm to modify the code.

I assure you that this works on XP and it changes color of the skins, etc. I havent tested it on vista since I dont have it.
