Win 95 Folder Icon

Hello All,

I've been attempting to change the icon for both the Win 95 destop folder
icon and the Win 95 Explorer folder icon. To make the change I went to
      HKey_Classes_Root\Directory\DefaultIcon
and to
      HKey_Classes_Root\Folder\DefaultIcon

I substituted "Shell32,3" with the new icon. That icon is an *.ICO file, but
I've also tried substituting "Shell32.dll,21" with no success.

Is there anything I've missed? I was able to change the wording of some of
the options appearing on the File pull down menu, I'm pretty sure it's
possible to make substitute defaults.

I would appreciate any help or advice anyone has to give.


Thanks,
Philip Sidney

CHANGE FOLDER ICONS.  Open Windows Explorer, view, options, file types tab,
and click on folder.  Click on edit and then change icon.  This procedure
changes all the yellow folders; however, it frequently doesn't work for
some reason on some systems. It worked on mine for a few days, then it
suddenly reverted to default. Bill works in mysterious ways.

 Yes it is possible. You can use a Free Program Call ICON CUSOMISER to do
this the Easy Way or you can use a Shareware PRogram Called MICROANGELO.
THey Both Change the Windows Icons. I persdonally Don;t have those
eys( well i couldn't Find them anyways) and i have Every Win95 Icon Changed
with the Xception of the Icons inside the Control PAnel. You can Get Icon
Customiser at
http://www.brianharper.demon.co.uk and you can get Microangelo at
http://www.impactsoft.com  NOte: Microangelo is a 30dday Demo but i dont
know if it becomes crippled after the 30days. I haven't had mine that long
to find out. If you want to see a screen shot let me know...

Hope this Helps
