Folder Icon - Change Windows 7 Default Folder Icon

I must make a couple of comments on this Tutorial: 1) Brink, I am very grateful that someone is making an effort to help. I do appreciate it. 2) Unfortunately, some of your directions (as I find in many help pages/ tutorials / etc) are so far beyond the understanding of most people who use computers but are not operating systems or administrators experts or even knowledgeable. For example, in this tutorial, in Step 4., under Option One - you say "In the left pane, right click on the Explorer key, click New and Key". Most people are NOT even familiar with the registry let alone how it is structured. Where might one find "New" and "Key"? What about if you said something like, "from the menu . . . . . . . . ".

Thank you so much for that response.

Is there a way to change the "Thumbnail Folder preview" icon ?

This method is only working when the view method is list or small icons. While making large folder view it shows the windows default folder icon. So Is there any way to fix this.

this tutorial is awesome, thank god i've found it again. i totally forgot how did i change my folder icons lol xDxD

anyway

people who are not familiar with the registry, shouldn't really edit the registry. just saying
