    How to I revert my folder icons back to the Win7 default.


    I tried srf/scannow imagres.dll and icon cache already, and I still get this: from a pack I installed I just want to get rid of these ugly Icons, help would be apreciated!

    Believe it or not I actually had this issue yesterday and got it resolved from a member of sevenforums :)

    Here's how to fix it:
    Download this .zip file and extract the imageres.dll from the zip to your Desktop.
    imageres.zip | MediaFire

    Run this as an Administrator (evaluated):
    System File Replacer by ~xuliikoo on deviantART

    Then Browse to the default imageres (C:/Windows/System32) and then select the Browse on the Right on head over to your Desktop and select the one I give you.

    Then rebuild your Icon Cache.

       Note
    If you know how to manually replace System Files. Great, if not use this!
