IconPackager vs My Pictures Folder

Doesn't the usual method work?..... Right click the icon, choose "Properties", and then "Change Icon". I could be wrong, but this is how I usually handle a stubborn icon.

It doesnt work on system default folders I dont think. I'm not sure how to change it. I know how to change the My Documents icon but not the My Pictures. Sorry about that.

If your using Icon Packager, Just launch IP, In the left menu select 'Icons & Cursors' now select 'Folder' from the toolbar menu and scroll down to the My Pictures folder and highlight it then browse for the Icon you want then hit Apply and OK...That should do it

I tried that. That is how i changed it to the SnowE My Pictures icon but for some reason i cant change it from that icon to anything else. It's such an eye-sore now since im using the bluecurve theme now. Just doesnt fit. Any other ideas?

I have found that sometimes you need to restore it to the Windows default one first to make it stick.

Theres still the old fashioned way thru desktop properties.-desktop-customize desktop.Back in my day we didnt have no fancy smancy icon changers.Had to scotch tape em' on the screen....and it wernt' no shiny lectronic screen neither...it was green and you hadda write onit with chalk.

Ah...good ole days...no MTV...no Britney...Pong was THE video game...my Dad had a Texas Instruments calculator that cost about $100 and was the size and weight of a brick All I had was a No.2 and a pad of wide-ruled paper

I have the same isssue with my "my music" folder. I have tried everything that has been suggested.If anyone finds a solution please speak up.

Hi

This is my first post in here. I came across this the other week and I think you will find that the icons react differently depending on how you access them.
If you open My Computer and follow the path down to wherever you keep your My Documents folder you will be able to change the icon. If on the other hand you open My Documents and right click, you won't be able to do it.

Don't know why this is but that's what I found. It happens with all the registered special folders (Pics, Music, Videos etc) as far as I can see.

Hope this helps.

Regards
