    How do I change the empty and full folder icons.


    So recently I downloaded a Windows Vista icon pack from DeviantART and I changed the default folder ico, so I was wondering how to you change the second folder icon for when a folder is full? When I put the icons in medium/large and then add a file to an empty one it changes them back to the default Windows 7 one. (I used Regedit to change them).
