installed 7zip a few minutes ago, just out of curiosity as I’ve been using WinRar exclusively for many years, then found out that hmm…7Zip compresses a bit better than WinRar :o how can that be ??? ;D
Okay my point here is that,as I just really didn’t like the toolbar icons in 7zip I googled that and found this:
hxxp://www.codedawn.com/index/7-zip-icon-pack-for-windows-xp
Well on those results of VT I wouldn’t be overly concerned, but given that those results were from three months ago I would have had VT rescan the upload to see if there are any more results or any less.
There was a post on the Interesting software topic I believe relating to that 7zip icon pack (I think this one is different) and at first I misunderstood how to get it working there was a .reg file to run (I checked it first) even after that I still have the same default 7z icon and see no way to change that.
This one is different in the fact it has an installer so there isn’t an easy way to check exactly what it does before taking the leap of faith.
Now that Dch48 has arrived that was the one I was talking about the icons are much nicer than the ones in this pack, unfortunately I have been unable to get them to work.
@ Dch48: doesn’t work. I should have mentioned that I’m using the 64 bit version of 7zip (beta), but the program folder for 64 bit apps is called the same as in 32 OS, so the path in the registry file is right. Don’t know why it doesn’t work…I saw the site and yep the icons look nice. That’s your site?
@ david, yeah you’re right I didn’t look at the date, I should have re-run the analysis. It’s uploaded again…waiting…

It’s not my site. I just found the icon pack somewhere when I installed 7-zip and didn’t like the icons. It worked fine for me on XP so I don’t get why it’s not working for you guys.
Okay I may have found the problem. Apparently the new 9.xx versions of 7-zip install the program in a folder called 7zip instead of 7-zip. There is a new version of the icon replacements available that has the .reg files needed for both the new 7-zip and the 4.xxx versions.
ps: I should have noticed about the difference of naming for the 7zip folder in the reg file ;D
anyway, about that other pack I mentioned in the beginning of this thread, I submitted to Avira and they say it’s clean. But I still won’t use it.
edit: I just had a look at the first reg file I tried yesterday, and it points to a 7-zip folder, which is appropriate, so there must be something else going wrong…
