System Tray icons....
This is a discussion about System Tray icons.... in the Customization Tweaking category; Hey guys remember that problem with all system tray icons limited to 16 colors? Well, I finally found a fix. . . . . . I applied the patch to my system, and now the winamp icon finally shows full color.

you might need to copy the explorer.exe into the winnt/servicepackfiles directory as well to stop it getting replaced by the SFC (if you're running sp1 of course)
Thanks for that! Fantastic! It's amazing how the little things make me happy

I cannot get this thing to work. I try to overwrite the file, and it says that I have, but when I check it is always the old explorer.exe. I am running SP1. How the heck to I get this thing to work? Thanks!

OP
There are three places where you need to replace explorer.exe:
\WINNT\ServicePackFiles\i386\
\WINNT\system32\dllcache\
\WINNT\
Replace them in that order, and you should be good...

Thanks a lot, it worked perfectly!
