Here's the text you need. Just Copy & Paste...

[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21790
InfoTip=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-12689
IconResource=%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll,-108
IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll
IconIndex=-237

I hope someone gets some use out of this.

  • My bad, the back up does work sorry. So i see that this works, changing the desktop.ini, so if i go to my friends house, he also has vista and his icons are normal, if i copy his desktop.ini, will it fix mine? Reply i u can.

    Ima see if it works and ill post it here if its successful.

  • It should work. But you don't have to copy his desktop.ini file. I have all the text in my "more info". You can just copy it directly. but if you want to just simply copy your friend's file, yeah that should work, too. Good luck.

  • Its just that yours messed up my files but here is mine

    [.ShellClassInfo]

    LocalizedResourceName=@%System­Root%\system32\shell32.dll,-21­770

    IconResource=%SystemRoot%\syst­em32\imageres.dll,-112

    IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32­\shell32.dll

    IconIndex=-235

    I think there the same? XI

  • Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. I just got the text off another website that explained how to fix the problem and it worked for me, just like in the video. I don't know what to tell you.

see all

  • yeah- i have a question- how do you change it from that green folder to an icon saved on your computer?

  • hi i was wondering if u could teach how to change a music file(not folder) icon.

    For example media player classic icon to other icon,without changing the default player which is media player classic. can u pls help? thanks in advance.

  • i dont have a file name destop,ini

  • Alternate method:

    In user folder, create a new folder.

    Click properties...

    Cange icon...

    browse: c:\windows\system32... and double click on "imageres.dll"

    Then select the icon, and click ok.

    Now just cut everything from the original music folder, and paste it into the new one.

  • thanks!

  • I missed how or what exactly you pasted and how you saved it. I got the info from the "more info" but i didn't know where to save and then what was supposed to happen

  • do you know how to make a icon in the songs ?. if you know please help me. thanks you!

  • Dude it aight. My computer was fked up anyways. by doing a disk clean up. had to reinstall vista, which sucked cause i lost everything, but oh well. my pc is ok and the desktop.ini i posted is from the one i have which is normal and working perfectly. And thanks for the video i learned what files can be managed to chande the icons. thanks
