| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Personal User Shell Folders Hi Zorro, and welcome to Vista Forums. Try using the attrib command attrib +r %USERPROFILE% in step 9 under STEP TWO in this tutorial, but this time in a elevated command prompt and restart the computer afterwards. The tutorial has been updated for this. If this still does not help, then see if rebuilding the icon cache may. Icon Cache - Rebuild Hope this helps, Shawn |

Can you help? Please  |

| Vista Home Premium 32bit | Re: Personal User Shell Folders Thanks for your help brink but it still didn't work. I have solved it now and I can't believe how I didn't think of it, I'm kicking myself that I didn't try this already as it was so simple. What I did was right clicked the desktop > Personalize > Tasks (on the left of the window) > Change desktop Icons Click on your User Folder (What ever you've named it) > Change Icon... Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\imageres.dll Find the default icon (Top row 30th across for me) and that did it! Thanks for your help with the other folders! Z |
