Vista folder icon turns yellow solution

  
                  

Strolling around the forum yesterday, I happened to see a netizen asking "Music folder becomes yellow ordinary file?" in the question and answer area. I believe that many friends have encountered this problem. I just met this one time ago. The problem and found a solution.

Under Windows Vista, all folder icons can be customized to your favorite icons. You only need to create a file named "desktop.ini" in the folder path to record the extra of the folder. Information, such as icons, etc. If you encounter the above problem, it means that the contents of the file have been tampered with, pointing to the wrong icon file.

In general, if you can change the icon in "Right-click folder - Properties - Personalization", then redefine the correct icon, then if the "Replace icon" is not found in the properties "How to do it? The headache is that the latter is in most cases. At this point, we must restore it by modifying the "desktop.ini" file.

1.Win+R runs "notepad %USERPROFILE%Musicdesktop.ini" or searches directly in the search bar;

2. Usually you will see the following:

3. Replace the contents with:

[.ShellClassInfo]

LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%system32shell32.dll,-21790

InfoTip=@% SystemRoot%system32shell32.dll, -12689

IconResource=%SystemRoot%system32imageres.dll,-108

IconFile=%SystemRoot%system32shell32.dll

IconIndex=-237 < Br>

4. Re-enter Vista after logging out, at this point, it should have returned to normal.

Other folders are similar, just replace the Music here with the corresponding name such as Pictures, Downloads, etc.

notepad %USERPROFILE%Musicdesktop.ini

Then, replace the contents of "desktop.ini".
