Mike Rochip Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Have you tried right clicking on the current icon, then clicking on Properties, then the Customize tab, and then Change Icon? Then you can choose from a selection of MS icons. If you had a custom icon then that probably won't work although you can navigate to a different folder with more icons if you have one from there.

Tarun: just tried that(MyDocs was registered anyways) and it didn't work. hmm actually the icon for my music did return. but the one on the start menu didn't. maybe a restart would fix it.

Moderators Andavari Posted August 25, 2006 Moderators Share Posted August 25, 2006 I've been changing my icon since I've had XP. Here's how: Open the My Music folder. Right click a blank area in the folder and select Customize. To use the default icon browse to and select it in:%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted August 25, 2006 Moderators Share Posted August 25, 2006 I cannot do that, I get no customize option!

Moderators Andavari Posted August 25, 2006 Moderators Share Posted August 25, 2006 I don't know if that has to do with the location of the folder or not as I have mine on a completely different disk "D:" which I used Tweak UI to change the default location.

JohnDemolition Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 not possible on my comp either. anyways, it's showing up in the taskbar and in explorer so issue solved. thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Windows Explorer > Tools Folder Options > View and disable Hide protected operating system files. Go to My Music and open Desktop.ini. The contents should read as follows (<USERNAME> is your username): [DeleteOnCopy] Owner=<USERNAME> Personalized=13 PersonalizedName=My Music [.ShellClassInfo] InfoTip=@Shell32.dll,-12689 IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll IconIndex=-237 You can edit the last two lines to customize the icon.

JohnDemolition Posted August 26, 2006 Author Share Posted August 26, 2006 ...you mean you can edit the damn thing? SWEET!!! edit:btw, is it possible to point it to an icon instead of a .dll file? edit2: just tried that and it WORKS. guess i have to say goodbye to editing the shell32.dll file. but the one thing that it doesn't let me do is edit the regular folder File .

Glenn Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 edit:btw, is it possible to point it to an icon instead of a .dll file?To point to an icon, the second last line becomes the path and IconIndex=0. For example: IconFile=%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Documents\My Icons\Custom Folder.ico IconIndex=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDemolition Posted August 26, 2006 Author Share Posted August 26, 2006 sooo? any way to edit the regular folder icon without hacking the shell32.dll file or using some other program(say IconPackager)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 ... any way to edit the regular folder icon ...?I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean you want to change the default to something other than the standard yellow folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDemolition Posted August 26, 2006 Author Share Posted August 26, 2006 exactly. the yellow icon doesn't seem that great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted August 26, 2006 Moderators Share Posted August 26, 2006 exactly. the yellow icon doesn't seem that great. You can say that again, which is why I don't use it! You can get some nice replacement icons at: Iconaholic - http://www.iconaholic.com/ The Yellow Icon - http://www.yellowicon.com/ deviantART - http://www.deviantart.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDemolition Posted August 26, 2006 Author Share Posted August 26, 2006 i already have PLUNTY of replacement icons. but i still need to know if it's possible to replace the yellow one by not hacking the shell32.dll file or using any programs.

Glenn Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I think you could edit the registry entry HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\DefaultIcon to specify a path to a custom icon. I haven't tried it myself but it's probably safer than hacking the shell32.dll file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnDemolition Posted August 26, 2006 Author Share Posted August 26, 2006 i did, but i didn't find anything there relating to changing the default icon(i just skimmed through the posts anyways). Glenn: i'll try that. thanks! edit:editing that registry entry didnt do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted August 26, 2006 Moderators Share Posted August 26, 2006 I didn't even think to look in Tweak UI, it offers the ability to fix the My Music icon. It's in: Repair->Repair My Music icon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronos55 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 JohnDemolition, You obviously didn't read the link I posted at the begining of this thread as the info for editing that file was posted in it. use tweak ui program.then rebuild my music icon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
