Re: How to change folder icon in documents folder

Folders are usually yellow, even in an office filing cabinet. That is why
the standard folder is also yellow. If yours was once green, that is because
a particular program YOU installed does that as part of it's install
routine. Their choice.

Suggest you search through ALL of the properties to find that which doesn't
appear. Browse to one of the hundreds of locations on your computer where
icons are found (hint = the place where the program involved is installed
to).

It is there.
