Have you ever noticed that the new folder you make comes with a old ugly yellowish look, but the inbuilt icons in home directory hae a very stylish green look. And you must have tried to change the icon to suit match with other folder but ultimately no success. Because, when changing icons the vista by default takes you to the old icons directory to choose.
But you know you can change the icons of your new folder and can have that new and greenish folder.
To do this go to folder's properties by right clicking on the folder. Then go to customize tab click 'change icon'.This will open up the icon changing tool.
Now the actual trick begins, you can see the address written there like this:
%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll
change the 'shell32.dll' to 'imageres.dll' and press enter to update the icons. Now in the list go to the extreme right and there you will find those vista icons. Choose whatever you want.
If you want to switch back t0 yellow folders just do the same thing with shell32.dll or click 'restore defaults'
