    Changing "Computer" and "Network" icons in explorer navigation pane


    Does anybody know how I can change these icons?

    I changed the default icon for the network one in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{F02C1A0D-BE21-4350-88B0-7367FC96EF3C} but it didn't change.


    Appreciate any help,

    B

    Hello, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    If you like, you could use the method in the tutorial below to change the icon of "Computer" and "Network" to what you like, and have it applied everywhere in Windows. :)

    You're most welcome.

    Nar, don't feel silly. It's not so obvious with a "desktop icons" label on the setting. :)

Hello, A couple of days ago I notice that the "Libraries" on the navigation panel were gone. (see image 001.jpg) The Libraries folder exists (in the AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Libraries) and contains all the folders that should show. Right clicking and choosing "restore default...
