Default Folder Icons

Hi everyone,

How can I set a default folder icon? And if possible, can I only set it for my account?

IconPhil is a good app for icon changing, give it a test.

Ah thanks, I check it out.

One more thing. I uninstalled QuickTime and iTunes, and then reinstalled. Now the jpg, bmp, png and other image icons are messed up. I want them to be QuickTime's icon set. I set the default program for the above file types to PictureViewer, but still messed up. There's an attachment showing you what I mean. (I want the icons similar to the psd's one)

Are you still using IconPhile? You can also set the default icon for the above filetypes using Folder Options, though I find it's often finicky.

That could work, but.. I don't have the icons. Could someone upload them or something?

PS: Sorry about the double posting...

//Edit: I fixed it. Now, I also need to change the My Picture, My Music and My Video icons. IconPhile doesn't change them. Suggestions?

If you're not using an x64 version of XP, use ResHacker and edit the icons you want into shell32.dll.

Sorry for bumping, but which .dll is repsonsible for the document icons? Specifically the .html, .htm, .png, .rtf icons. I can't replace those with IconPhile, and I intend to ResHack it and edit them.

Those aren't .dll controlled. Go to Folder Options-->File Types-->.png-->Advanced-->Change Icon. It's not always a 100% success rate, but that's how it's done.

Morale of this lesson: Never use AlienWare Theme Manager.
