User Folders - Restore Default Icon

everything was fine up to the point where i entered the CMD, i tried copying and pasting that and i got "Parameter format not correct", im not sure what to try now, i tried option 2 first.

specs

windows 7 64 bit
trying to restore my downloads icon, when i go to change icon it flashes the right icon then goes back to the yellow folder icon. it shows the right icon in the address bar though ??

Everything is Good, i got it it after much finger typing practice

i needed to delete the bad folder in the start menu users folder, then recreate the New downloads folder in the C:/users/username Folder after that the correct folder appeared, after getting rid of the bad folder and recreating it in the Main C:/users/username Folder, , then the start menu username folder automatically change the icon

thanks for all your tutorials, i recently had to use this one - User Folders - Restore Default Location. i followed that to the T, and it Worked Great!!


Thanks Again

Thank you Brink. Method 2 helped me get my Downloads icon back. I appreciate it.

I am trying to use Option 2 Method 2 and I can't even get past Step 2. When I type in "shell:downloads" i get the following response: "Windows cannot find find 'shell:downloads'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. I have lost my "Download" folder and there is only a "paper" icon for the Download Folder. This is becoming very aggravating.
