Well, particurarly since IconPackager is V3, i get (and i'm pretty sure i'm not the only one) a trouble which is becoming very boaring: restoring defaults icons.
I try to explain myself:
When you install Windows (XP or any other OS) firstly on a machine, each type of files get a defaut icon; exemple, .doc are by default opened with wordpad.exe and the default icon for .doc is the wordpad.exe icon (same way for any kind of other files and extensions ...), so this icon is as well the Windows default icon and what i call the System default icon. BUT, as soon as you install Winword (with office or whatelse) the .doc default icon becomes the winword.exe icon ==> though the System default icon is then the Winword default icon BUT the Windows defaut icon is still the wordpad one (and that unless you uninstall Winword ...)
Iconpackager is confusing these two default icons and brings all icons to Windows defauft ...
In a just previous beta version of Iconpackager, i've seen that this specific trouble for default icons is solved when WinWord is installed ... wrong (at least for me), it does not, i've tried a lot of things, uninstalling completly Iconpackager, rebuilting completly - and handly all default files icons), as soon as i re installed Iconpackager and on the first launched of it, the .doc icon is still the Wordpad.exe one).
This trouble is exactly the same for all images types, all compressed files (i use Winzip, and sorry but as Winzip is defined as the program which open such and such type of files, IT IS the default prog one and the files opened with it should have the Winzip default icon ...) and so on for other software.
So, should it be possible that Iconpackager make a differnce between the Windows default and the System default ???? and leave alone all the Programs default icons installed when restoring/reparing (or even just launching IconPackager) default icons, instead of changing them back to Windows default ???
