Default Changing the icon of anything.


Hi. I want to modify the folder icon of special windows folders that does not show the Customize tab when I bring up the property window right-clicking on it. For example, the -Program Files- folder, Id like to change the default folder icon for my own "better" icon. The same should be for all the folders I desire. There are many ideas of how the application should work, perhaps some harder than others, but right now I just want the logic to do it, by this I mean I want to do it, I do not want another program that does it for me.

Thanks!

You might want to have a look at my ShellExtensions project at my website http://www.vbtricks.de.vu in the section Coding>VB>Components. The project does also include a function to change the icon of folders.
