as default, the explorer icons are the same for "folder" and "file
folder". I would like to destinguish between them.
While searching the archives, I found the "Shell Icon" regedit tweak
which worked fine in changing the default icon for *both* "folder" and
"file folder".
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer
\Shell
Icons]
"Number from list below"="Path to icon, Icon index"
In the Explorer, under Extras-Folder Options-File Types-File Folder-
Advanced I can select a different icon. But-the only effect is that I
see it in this Advanced dialog. It seems not to have any effect in the
explorer itself.
Refreshing the icon cache by setting symbols size to 31 and then back
to 32 worked also well in principle, but didn't help here..
How can I select _different_ default explorer icons for "folder" and
"file folder"? Is there any other key under "Shell Icons" for the
"file folder"?
