Hello Mr.Burns, and welcome to Vista Forums.

You might give the same method here a try to change the default folder.

Haha! I'm a dummy. The answer I was looking for was right above my post :P

Anyway, didn't work :| I double checked the steps through the registry, and I'm pretty confident I did what I was supposed to. However, even after log on/log off and a restart, nothing changed. I tried with and without the ,0 at the end.

I hate to be a bother but, any ideas? Thanks again.

*edit: The laptop I own used to be my wife's. My old one crashed so I bought her a new one and took this one (which was only about a month old anyway), but, instead of creating a new user, I just changed the user name, name of computer, and owner. Even though I changed the user name, the location of the file still contains her user name instead of the one I changed it to. For example, the location for this particular file I want is: C:\Users\Brittany\Pictures\Icons\Hydro Pro\ICO\DefaultFolder.ico Even though the user name 'Brittany' was changed and no longer exists. Every other icon I've changed so far hasn't had any problems, but could thid be why it's not working?

I've tested it by moving the file to other locations, and get the same result. But, I thought it would be worth mentioning anyway

Once again, thanks a million if you can be of any assistance.

Burn,

You should be able to use the trial version of Vista Manager to change the folder icon in it's Custimazation feature.

The only way to change the C:\Users\(user-name) folder name is to create a new account and delete the old one. Just changing the name of an account in User Accounts (in Control Panel) will not do it, and only tie both names to that account instead.
