    You're most welcome Julio, and thank you.

    I'm afraid that I do not know how to change the Fonts folder icon yet. You might post this in the "Customization" forum area to see if someone may already know a way though.

    Here is how my Shell Icons look like.



    There is a 29 there.

    It might have been that I changed the Thumbnails on Folder Icons by using this tutorial from sevenforums.
    Or maybe it is some other thing that I have changed.
    Since I have this "29", do I need to change the "thumbnails off" default folder icon?
    If I change the icon, will it overwrite my "thumbnails on" folder icons (they are not default windows 7)?

    Hello Andre,

    Number 29 is for the shortcut arrow overlay icon, and will only affect folder shortcuts. It will not have any affect on the folder icon used in this tutorial, or on thumbnail views. :)

    Here's some more on this if you wanted to read more on it.

    Hello Avin, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    If you did OPTION ONE, then you will need to also do step 11 to have them also display in the Save as type dialog windows.

    Avin,

    Could you post a screenshot of the registry location at step 6 showing the everything entered at that location? I'll be happy to take a look to see if a mistake may have been made.

    If you used a icon of your own, did you unblock it and have it saved in a location that all user account's can access (ex: c:\Users\Public\My Pictures)?

    I just found this neat little program which may be useful in the context: IcoFX - The Free Icon Editor
