    A great program that I have used for many years, it never causes any system problems. If you use this program you may have to hunt around for excellent icon packs so it's a bit of an enthusiasts area.

    I have many truly brilliant icon packs all archived on external discs. Not a program if you want all delivered to you on a plate.

    Why the ability to remove the short-cut arrows on icons is not included in this program is beyond me.Or am I missing something?

    Its a good program as it does allow you to install custom icon packages as well as giving you the ability to create your own using existing packages or just downloading cool icons from like say deviantArt.com or full boat iconpackages from wincustomize.com and applying the downloaded icons thru the software.

    There are other customizations you can do such as adjust the the colors of the icons and also stylizing the icons for example.

    I give it a 5 Star Rating because it does what it advertises and very easily. Although there may be some validity that not all files are uninstalled when you opt to uninstall the software. But the software is getting better and I think Stardock is listening to its users in addressing issues in there forums and hopefully implementing it in there software.

    The Good:
    You don't have to hassle with hacking your system files manually to install custom icons, which can be dangerous to a novice. With one click Iconpackager seamlessly changes hundreds of icons. Most custom icon packages replaces most of the common icons in Windows.
    Live Folders are also supported and included in most Iconpackager packages.

    The Bad:
    The remains of system files left over after attempting a uninstall is valid, for some. Is it harmful? No. Could the uninstaller do a better job? Yes.

    Along with Window Blinds this just keeps getting better. There is no noticeable slowdown or stability issues using either of these products. Brilliant!

    Brilliant program as is Window Blinds. The program can be instructed to keep your icon packages where you choose, so that’s never a problem to back your packages up. As I love changing how the desk looks regularly I use it quite a lot & very rarely have any issues with it. I actually subscribe to 'Object Desktop' which gives access to most of Stardocks progs. Great stuff 10 stars.
