I was try to change the icon of all of my folders, but i couldnt figure it out!

in the procces of trying to find out how to change the icons, i screwed it up! now whenever double click a folder, a search dialog comes up.... when i rightclick a fold, i see in bold on the top is search and under that, not in bold is open...


i need to fix this!!!!

btw, how can i change all of the folder icons?
 
go to your register editor: regedit.exe

under HKEY_CLASS_ROOT, find a key called folder. under folder there's a DefaultIcon, change its path to the path of your desired icon. restart. and that's all.
 
thanks a lot!!!

but, how can i make open the default command, so i can double click the folder to open it, and not to search it?
 
Okay herez what u do

Open an explorer window .. Click on Tools>Folder Options ..Select the File Types Tab ... Scroll on the list n' select File Folder Click on Advanced ..Select the action u want (explore or Open) Clcik on Set as default.

U can repeat the same for the Folder too (u'll find it right before the File Folder opton)
 
Okay .. in that case .. herez what u do ..

Create a new txt file n' paste all the lines below into it

Now rename the file from .txt to .reg
Double Click on the file n' click on yes .. everything should be fine now
 
to chang an icon you right click the icon or folder go to properties should be a tab that says customize click that and there should be a button that says change Icon but the icon you want must be a .ico there are didffent programs you can get to make images in to icons
 
im clear of all spyware, and i watch my files closly, i doubt i have a trojen.

but, its not that i cant choose it, its just that there is no option for it!

I select File Folder, and the only choices are 'find'! there is not an 'open'!
