Hey,
The vista icon for "Music" has changed to the default folder icon. How can I change it back?

I had the exact same problem this morning, happens randomly and bloody annoys me when it does, I get it fairly often to be honest

.

The shell folder is missing or has the wrong information in the .ini file, you have to create a new .ini for the folder which has lost it's icon.

If you have a read of this, it's very simple to do

I also seem to have two "contacts" folders. One has the correct icon and is correct but the other is the default folder icon and it won;t let me delete it, how can I remove it?

Thanks

Neil

Hmm, It should just delete. try from safemode, maybe you need the permissions setup so you have full control or something.

%SystemRoot%\System32\imageres.dll

Contains the icon files you're after i think.
