Restoring Default Folder Icon - Not Working?

Hi,

A few months back I changed my default folder icon, and now I would like to change it to something else. In regedit, I made a Shell Icons folder in the proper directory (I removed the old one), yet it does not seem to work. It has the key "3" in it, with the directory of the new icon. It is a 256x256 .ico file. Actually, there are traces of it working. For example, in Chrome, when you go to say upload a profile picture, it shows the right icon. In Windows Explorer, however, it only shows the old one. Help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi,

I tried running the bat file and restarted my computer. It did not change the folder icons back to the default. In the registry editor, I cannot find a trace that says to make the old icon the default icon.

Thanks

You know when you install Windows, and all the folders have the same yellow-folder icon? Well, I changed the yellow-folder icon to something else in the registry editor. So now, all of the folders have a different Icon.

There is no longer files that I have edited in the registry. I deleted the ones I used to change the default icon. What I did was, I created a key called Shell Icons in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (or whatever its called) > Software > Microsoft > Windows > Current Version > Explorer, with a string called 3, with the value being the directory of the icon.

I have attached the file. Folder10.ico is the icon I want, by the way. Also, I don't know if I said this before, but it does work but ONLY when uploading a file through chrome.

Thanks
