Guys, Sometime back , i search for a tweak on the net. Which forces the dll files to display the first icon in that file as the dll's icon.

But i dont want it now, i want Xp to display its default icon for every dll file.
Can anyone tell me how to change that?

Open regedit and goto:

Code: 
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\DefaultIcon
In right-side pane, change value of Default to %SystemRoot%\System32\shell32.dll,-154
