Yeah, that was a big thing for me too.  I did it, and it was a huge amount of work. 
 I used a resource editor to replace all of the offending icons, AVIs, bitmaps, etc., 
in XP.  It took a lot more than editing shell32.dll-- I edited 132 files to get this 
done.  I used the icons included with WinME, for the most part.  I had to edit or 
create a lot of them.  The results were worth the effort, IMO.

At first, I used Reshacker, but unfortunately, it made Windows unstable.  Several 
of the edited files were not recognized as Win32 PE files.  That was not good.  So 
I went and redid everything with Heaventools' Restuner.  The result is perfect stability, 
and no "wacky" at all.  Take a look at this screen shot of my XP install:
