librarie tutorial, by brink, did i miss anything?

[xTL]

Hey guys i followed the guide here
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/34032-libraries-icon-change-default-icon.html

And it worked great
tho one of the icons, never changed for me, i checked and dubble checked the images and the guide still that last icon never changed for me, so i must have missed something..

Why is it that the .ico file never changed on the 3rd icon, but the 1st and the 2nd icon changed fine.
What did i miss? i really hate that 3rd icon, so damn ugly have to change it !!!!

Thx in advance

From what I see in the tutorial you didn't miss anything, but I just woke up!

Methinks the icons for the taskbar are kept or obtained from a different folder.

if you right click the libraries icon on the taskbar and then to change icon, can you find the one you want that way?

Thx for the quick reply Anak

When i right click the libraries icon (nr 3 on my image in the first post) i have no such options, i get following

Windows Explorer
unpin this program from taskbar

thats it :/
when i enter libraries and right click i have following options

View
Sort by
Group by
Refresh
-----------
Paste (grey'd out)
Paste shortcut (grey'd out)
-----------------------------
New


When i go to Desktop and right click libraries i get following

Open
Open in new window
-----------------------
restore default libraries
-----------------------
scan for virus
move to quarantaine
-----------------------
Copy
-----------------------
Create shortcut

Critical point.

When you right click the taskbar icon to change it; browse to the folder that already contains the ones you are using for the main Library. Then pick one from there.

After you rt ck on #3 you see this

Windows Explorer
unpin this program from taskbar

rt. ck. on windows explorer that will open up context to properties. ck on properties.

If it is the one you want, then yes, pick it, but it should be instantaneous once you click on apply. If not then restart, and see if it takes effect.

This may make it clearer:

Start where it says:

Instead, let’s create new, customized icons for our taskbar. To do this easily, open the folder that contains all of your pinned icons by entering the following in the Explorer address bar:

Sure, just go up to the scales in the upper right corner of one of my posts usually the one that helped the most, and click on that. you don't have to put in a comment, but it's courtesy to do so.
Then click on I approve.

It will then show on your User CP page.

Easiest way to get there is to go to the top of the page you'll see User CP to the right of center.

Happy to have you aboard xTL enjoy your stay here at W7F

If you would like it to be a "win-win" for everyone there is one more step you could take, and that would be to go up to your original post here #1.
Click on the red triangle.

When the next report page opens just type solved in the comments box, and one of the mods will put a green check mark at the beginning of your thread.

That way other members know that there was a positive result, and it may help solve their quandary.
I've noticed yowanvista has been here for a while.

Your welcome, I am glad to be of service....

 

[xTL]

Done reported it as " solved "

Cool man didn't know you could do that

 

[Anak]

It may take a while for the green check-mark to show, the mod will go over the thread, and if everything looks good you'll get one.

It may behoove you to read the forum rules, just to see what is possible.
Again go to the top of any page here, you'll see Quick Links, top dead center.

Click on that, when it opens, Forum Rules are first.
