    Need Help Changing Folder Icons
    « on: June 13, 2008, 02:58:28 PM »
    I was wondering how am I able to change the folder icons to its regular default icon folder?

    I've already tried going to properties > customize > restore default

    Also all the files in the folders are of the type it should be like in my Music folder its all music and pictures its all .psd, .jpg, etc etc

    What icons are we talking about? Do you want the Icons for Music and Pictures changed?

    Instead of clicking 'default', try browsing through the available icons.

      I want to change the icons that I outlined in Red back to its default folder icon like how the other ones are.

      I don't have a Vista but i'm pretty sure you just have to Right Click the folder, go to Properties, Customize and Change Icon.

      Broni has the prettiest screen captures and most effective i've seen in awhile... ;)

      Keep in mind this takes some effort.

        The Folders I am trying to change the icon too are not Shortcuts. When I go to its properties this is what I get.

        This is weird....
        Try this...
        Restart computer in Safe Mode, then restart normally. It should rebuild icons cache.
