I use a free utility called IconTweeker on my XP machine. So paying, or even downloading this for free, is pointless.

I’ve also found that you can download the themes from the Bee Icons website and unzip the themes to access the icon libraries. These icon sets are lacking many important icons making the sets incomplete.

I downloaded the Bee icons saving them in a folder to my computer and was not able to acutually instll them onto my computer until the next day, they did not install.
I would say thats not much of a giveaway if one can’t save something and be able to nopt put install it at their convenience.
YOu keep yoi giveaways of the day.
I like the freeware I can install that when I want when I save it.
Please dopn’t offer it anymore if a person can’t save it for the next day.

#89 Awww, you’re just jealous!!

But then, with that OS you’re running,
I’d say you have every right to be. : D

This package installs and runs well on
XP Pro SP3. GAOTD comes through again!

On Vista, well, there’s just no telling.
Anything is possible!

sorry but man i have to comment on #69 Justin Case, well JUST IN CASE You are not in this century, I have Windows VISTA Home Edition AND Windows XP w/SP3 and i can say from my experience that VISTA has far more feature (modern ones and multi-media ones) than XP ever thought of having, and i can also say tht my VISTA H.E. w/SP1 is so stable I never have had a BSOD in the past 2 months, I am neither bashing or commending ANY Operating system here, Iam merely stating “MY EXPERIENCE” I have an up to date top of the line pc’s and i keep security top priority, at any rate I prefer VISTA for it’s unrivaled multi-media capabilities and all around performance that far exceeds that of my SAME Desktop PC with XP Installed… Happy Computing;

After returning to the developers website and reviewing what they termed “Themes” I see that they are not the same as Windows Themes but simply menu and folder icons. It seems I was the one who misunderstood this program. It is just another Folder Icon changer. Sorry for the confusion but they shouldn’t call them Themes.

download fine, installed fine, but still not showing as registered. Also tried restarting, but didn’t help. I guess I’ll find out in 30 days whether it worked or not.

The rainbow folders spoke of above, has a website that promotes pornography so you might want to avoid it. Those things make me sick, the Free Downloads link above is clear but download didn’t work and the visit Rainbows Folder website takes you to pornography makes you wonder about the first site. I was enticed by it being free because I liked the Folder Marker offered here a while back, I lost it with a new computer and the free version pretty much stunk or didn’t work in Vista.

I just spent the last two hours cleaning up the mess that this app left on my system. After I installed it on my XP (sp3) laptop, I decided I didn’t want it after all. So, I dutifully went to the uninstall routine, and removed the application entirely (or so I thought). It asked me, “Do you want to restore your icons to what they were before you installed Bee Icons?” and I answered, yes, indeedy.

Lo and behold, after the uninstall, I discovered that many of my system icon associations were still set to the Bee Icon set I’d used. I started picking them off one at a time, but then discovered that the Bee Icons had also replaced file types that were not registered for viewing. Then, as I sat wondering what would happen next, AVG Pro announced it found a trojan in explorer.exe, and did I want to address the problem?

I decided to do a System Restore to my last restore point, two days ago (I haven’t downloaded a thing other than Bee Icons since then, so it didn’t worry me). However, System Restore said it couldn’t go back for me, and asked it I wanted to try an earlier point. I didn’t. I wasn’t 100% convinced that Explorer.exe was really compromised, because I have pretty good firewall, antivirus, and antimalware protection.

I went into the Registry Editor and replaced every one of the remaining 100 registry entries that still pointed back to Bee Icons’ non-existent theme.

I’m hopping mad about this. I surely didn’t plan to spend an evening mucking about with a failed uninstall.

You know what they say? “Caveat Emptor.”

You know what they also say? “Fool me twice, shame on me.” These guys won’t get a second chance.
