Nu här är trick… i stället för standarden shell32.dll sparar, oss ska ändring som att använda symbolerna i imageres.dll. Du kan klistra i den fulla banan, om du skulle något liknande (eller rättvist fynd som imageres.dllna sparar med bläddrandet knäppas),
%SystemRoot% \ system32 \ imageres.dll
Använd den nyckel- skriva in för att uppdatera lista, när du har ändrat texten i boxas, och därefter, om du bläddrar hela vägen till rätten, ska du fynd som tom grön en den mappsymbol matchar perfekt.

A quick one on this then:
Is there any way to have this make ALL new folders have the green icon or is that not possible?
Thanks again for all the help!
Or you could download this icon set and have every new folder even better customised: http://darkhiusaki.deviantart......k-44230022
From experience this is the best pack out there.
If you need more of the Vista style icons check out my gallery on deviant art. http://steelew.deviantart.com/gallery/ everything in it is free. Hope you like them.
Thanks, that’s quite useful! The only drawback is that I don’t think you get the small previews of files inside the folders, but that’s not too bad since they’re mostly aesthetic rather than useful anyway.
For some reason my “pictures” and “music” folders are a different icon and under customize theres no option to select a new icon. Is there anything I can do to change those back?
nice, just what i wanted!
Thanks for the tutorial , can you advice on the folder to use that puts a picture in the folder similar to when you use a folder for an album and the picture of the album is inside .
Cheers Dave
I use your site all the time for hints and tips, this is another great one. Thanks alot!
I have been using icons from gnome look website and converting to ico files from the png.
Lousy Vista!!! I just tried that, but the cool greenish ones are nowhere to be found! It’s just a bunch of boring ones, and a tree…
Moral of this story = my Vista sucks. Bad Vista!!

Or you just didn’t read how to do it
It’s more easy to blame Vista then saying I’m to stupid to follow instructions.
After typing in the path or finding it with the browse button you must press enter within the window or it will not pull up the other set of icons.
Yes it is tricky until you know this path. Share the knowledge people the green folders have been found. They are mostly on the far right.
%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll
Otherwise, use Terraroforms stuff its awesome.
Thank you! This helped my fix my Downloads folder, cause it turned into a yellow one, it was really bugging me!
Hi, i have this problem where i go into the user folder and where it shoud say Jack it says Desktop, but when i go into it, it goes into my User folder anyway
it wont allow me to change the name or it when i right click and go to properties, its really bugging me, system restore doesn’t affect it i really want it to say Jack again.
Please Help
@Jack: I don’t quite get what you mean. Do you mean that the User icon in C:\Users, the desktop one or the start menu one has the wrong name?
Also you should post your question to the forums, you will get a faster responce time due to more people watching the forums and the posts do not need to be approved before appearing.
yes!!! that works for me. I had a problem at first though. My problem was when I right clicked on the documents folder in the start menu the option did not show up to change icon in the customize tab. what I did was open my documents and the folder icon in the bottom left corner. I right clicked on that and it still did not give the option to change icon in the customize tab.
So how I did it is while my documents open, right click on icon in bottom left corner, then click on the location tab and click find target. Mind you this brought another documents folder up in which I right click on the icon in the bottom left corner again and then properties and then “lo and behold” the change icon option became visible in the customize tab.
Then I just put in the string you specified in replacing the one as you said to and clicked ok and there it was just where you said it would be on the far right. My pretty little green icon!!!
And more cool icons that I couldn’t find anywhere else on the computer.
Thank you for this useful piece of information!! It wouldn’t have helped me though unless I had kept opening the documents folder from inside the documents folder. I don’t know if it is a glitch in my Vista or just how its set up to make life complicated, thanks to you though, its a lot easier. Thanks again. I have bookmarked your page, I just got this Vista for my Birthday and I am making it my own so I am pretty sure I’ll need you again to dig me out of the sand. This is the first time I have used Vista and I really enjoy it.
@alison: i had the same problem, but now i know how to fix it. thank you so much for your help!
that was tariffic, I may start liking my computer folders now
Thanks
