Windows Forum / Windows XP / Customization / October 2007Change Default Folder for ALL folders?
I'm using XPSP2. I'd like to change the default yellow folder to a default blue folder on one system, and default to other colors on other systems. It would help me to know which is which when I'm collecting my documents and organizing them. I'm afraid to mess with shell32.exe -- if I edit it, will it still work? Also, the My Documents folder won't show the icon in shell32. Even using a customization won't make it stick. The MyMusic & MyPictures icons seem to work fine. Any hints on how to add the MyDocuments folder icon? Thanks. Lady Dungeness Crabby, but Great Legs! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I know of two possible shell extensions that could do this: Customize Folders by CloneSoft (http://www.clonesoft.com/ )and AnyFolders by Artem Lin. (My 1998 registration lists the following: HTTP://oop.rosweb.ru/users/a/artem/index.html but I have no idea if it is still valid.) > I'm using XPSP2.

I went to Artem's site but his AnyFolders seems to be lost in the ethernet. Thanks for the suggestions, anyway.

But I did download it and will try is. PS: Why does the link go to http://joost.endoria.net, but the status bar says downloading from www.student.tue.nl?

" It's just a redirect. The download is stored at another site. Quite common. Many websites refer to another download site, just like we do.
