    What you are asking is found in the msstyles.dll File found in Windows / Resources / Themes /
    You need a 3rd Party App to modify msstyles Files. Files like bitmaps, Icons etc.
    The .theme Files are Notepad Files & can be modded with Notepad.

    Just make sure to patch your system before applying any 3rd party theme. Search for UXthemepacther on Google.

    Edit
    C:\Windows\Branding\Basebrd\it-IT\basebrd.dll.mui (if your windows is in Italian) using a resource editor

    (replace it-IT with en-US or any other language code accordingly to your windows version)

    Don't touch basebrd.dll or you'll lose the activation
