Music and Documents folder icons.

[Priapus]

Howzit guys.

I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate x64 with SP1. Now, I have noticed my documents folder and music folder icons have defaulted back to the clasic style icons. ( That old yellow-ish looking one )

Is there anyway to get the original Vista ones back?


Thank you!

That should work for the music folder. Not sure about Documents though, although it will be along the same lines.

Sorry makes no sense.

My music folder is sorted. I mean to say Pictures folder and Documents folder.

Thank you

That post has a link to all the files you'll need (haven't downloaded to check).

And the second post in that thread shows what you'll need to do.

Hope that helps.

It's the shell folder icons, usually happens if the desktop.ini has become corrupted or something. I can't find the original link I found the info, but I remember what to do.

If you create a file called desktop.ini in each of the folders missing it's icon, then type the content in. Save the file, go to properties make the file hidden. Then restart the computer.

For pictures,

[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21779
InfoTip=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-12688
IconResource=%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll,-113
IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll
IconIndex=-236
[LocalizedFileNames]
Sample Pictures.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21805

For Docs,

[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21770
IconResource=%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll,-112
IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll
IconIndex=-235

That's the exact contents of the desktop.ini's from my folders.
