Windows 7: Folder Icon

Did everything in step 2, now logging off and back on

Oh, just saying, instead of doing the attributes in command prompt one by one, just do this:

Code:

attrib +r -s -h "%USERPROFILE%\Contacts" /S /D&&attrib +r -s -h "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop" /S /D&&attrib +r -s -h "%USERPROFILE%\Documents" /S /D&&attrib +r -s -h "%USERPROFILE%\Downloads" /S /D&&attrib +r -s -h "%USERPROFILE%\Favorites" /S /D&&attrib +r -s -h "%USERPROFILE%\Links" /S /D&&attrib +r -s -h "%USERPROFILE%\Music" /S /D&&attrib +r -s -h "%USERPROFILE%\Pictures" /S /D&&attrib +r -s -h "%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games" /S /D&&attrib +r -s -h "%USERPROFILE%\Searches" /S /D&&attrib +r -s -h "%USERPROFILE%\Videos" /S /D

Basically, group them all together with an "&&" between each with no spaces

When I do any of the shell:... commands, it gives me this message:

Code:

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

I did everything.
All the folders have the Location tab, though, but the shell command doesn't work.

Nvm. Solved it. It had nothing to do with the user profile folders. I just right-clicked the "Documents" folder on my desktop (the one I made myself) and went to the Customize tab. I clicked "Change Icon", changed to something random, then applied. I went back, and clicked on "Change Icon", but then clicked "Restore Defaults", and everything was back to normal

Just to clarify, it used to look like a folder with no item preview, but then it changed to a folder icon that looked like the "My Documents" icon, and now it's back to a legit file preview.

Thanks for the help though, Brink.

But, final question, because all of the "shell:" commands do NOT work, even other ones like shell:SystemX86, like EVERY single one found here. They all give a

Code:

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

message.
What's the problem here?

Great news on the other issue.

Try using this instead to see how it works.

explorer shell:command

So, If I put "explorer shell

ersonal", or "explorer shell:documents", they go to the documents folder. If I use the "explorer shell:desktop", it'll go to the desktop folder. However, if I use a random command like "explorer shell:lolfail", it still goes to the documents folder :P

How about with the other shell commands?

I tried "shell:Cookies", and it gave me "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect." When I tried "explorer shell:cookies", it opened explorer with the path "C:\Users\TEMP\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies".

That's correct for the "explorer shell:cookies" command.

What are using the commands in?

Command Prompt.
