    How do I change back the folder icon with thumbnails?


    Hello.

    I had a weird problem with my folder icons. The normal folders (ones without thumbnails) appear the normal yellow photo that is the default. However, the folders with thumbnails are a different icon of gray and white. For some reason, I cannot change the icon of the folders with thumbnails back to the default, yellow folders. Can anyone help with this? I have manually tried to change it back by "Right clicking, Properties, Customize" and choosing the yellow default folder, but it isn't working.

    an sfc scan will correct them, however if you have other customizations like the clock or wmploc.dll etc they will also change back.

    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker
