Solved Change User Default Files' Icons?

[Rjes]

Hi everyone, I was wondering if it is possible to change the icons for default folders in the user folder (My Documents, Downloads, Saved Games, etc). These folders have a different properties window that includes a "Customize" tab, but no option to change the icon.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hello Rjes,

Most certainly,

Option Two in the tutorial below can help show you how to.

Thanks guys! I followed the tutorial and it worked perfectly. However, It only has the option to change two of the folders. I extracted the location from the reg files and will try and see if I can find the location of the others.

Which ones were you not able to change?

Oh sorry, I missed the part about opening it via computer/c/users/username. It seems it wont let you change much of anything when you open it through a shortcut (seems a little pointless to add that restriction). So I was able to change everything without problem. Thanks again for your help!

You're most welcome. I'm glad that we were able to help.

BTW, Brink, I meant toask why is my pasted link slightly different to yours? is it because I do a search and then copy and paste the result from the browser window?

Golden,

You copied the link from with the "File Folder Settings" tutorial category, and I copied the link from the Tutorial Index page instead. Since you copied it from within categories, it included the category in the link. That's all.

Understood - thanks Brink
