Vista - Contacts folder icon

The Contacts folder icon has changed to a default yellow. I remember
reading in the newsgroup that there is a way to get the gray "contacts"
folder back. I know, I should have saved it, but I didn't.

I found the answer.

Thanks, Keith.

The folders get their icon info from the hidden, system file within the
folder named desktop.ini. Not sure how or if that info is used across a
network. Desktop.ini for the Desktop folder contains the following:


[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21769
IconResource=%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll,-183

Maybe the server is trying to supply the icon info but it doesn't have the
imageres.dll file???

For a workaround, open your Favorite Links folders and modify the icon
associated with the shortcut via its properties dialog. The 'Change Icon'
dialog may default to shell32.dll but you can browse to imageres.dll.
