    Vista Folders on 7


    Hey everybody!
    Second thread on the forum.:)
    Ok, so the title gives it away a bit. I am trying to get the folders in C:/Users/%user%/ to be the glossy blue/green color like it is in Windows Vista . This is without changing the windows theme.

    Thanks

    Hello Fire Cat,

    You can use OPTION ONE in the tutorial below to select the icon you want to use for your C:\Users\(User-name) folder.

    Thanks guys!
    Finnaly, I copied the imageres.dll from my vista PC and used the icons from there.

    *Edit*: Where can I find the .dll where the desktop icon is?
