Default icons for Documents folder

Hi

So that I can share files with my Linux operating system, I changed my
default location of Documents, Pictures, Music and Videos to a FAT32
partition on my computer. However the default blue tinted icons are replaced
by yellow ones. Although when I clicked "Restore Defaults" in the icon folder
the Music folder got its icon back, the trick did not work for the other
three folders. I cannot see these default icons when I click "Change Icon".

Any help will be deeply appreciated.
Thanks

Make the folders read-only using the attrib command.

I surely do want to write on these folders. This was precisely the reason I
moved them onto a FAT partition.

Hi Apoorv,

This will show you how to get the default green folder back for them.
When you get to step 10 in STEP TWO, you will need to substitute
"%USERPROFILE%\whatever folder" with the full path of the new location
for it.

You can still write to the folders. If you actually want the user shell
folder icons back, do as I said.

Hi

First of all, thanks to both of you for you help.

@Brink: Link is not accessible. Any alternate ways to access the knowledge
base you want to point to?

@Synapse Syndrome: I tried your suggestion (making folders ro) but that did
not help.

Apoorv,

The link seems to be working fine now. You might try it again. If not
just remove the space between http and ://

Thanks Brink and Ramesh. The trick worked. I logged off and logged back in
and my shell folder icons are back. I also understand why this happened. My
desktop.ini was modified by the process of "cut" "paste" from one partition
to the other.

Once again thanks to both of you.
