The best option is to use Restorator 2007.
Do u want to replace all folders or just a specific folder?

I said it for the compatibility to apply some pack of installable icons.
u could also try IconPackager (for me the best), it's more customizable and easier to use and doesn't alter the dll.

Thanks a million for helping me, but i don't think thats a good idea
Just imagine a have 700 folders inside all the partitions.
What am I doing ? Customise all of them, one by one ?

I'll be a little specific.


If u change the icon of the folder that comes by default ... automatically change all the icons of the folders in general.


You don't need to choose an icon for each section (u only need 1)


That's why I give you 2 options to use.


Or u use an iPack
Or a pack of customizable icons (IconPackager)

I played a bit with the trial version of Icon Packager, it's working as i want, and i think i'll purchase, but just wanted to ask you what's the difference between Icon Packager and Object Desktop ?
Thank you

Object Desktop is like a suite programs or apps like WindowBlinds (themes for Windows), DeskScapes (Moving wallpapers, Shadow FX, Star10 (it's like StarIsBack), Object Dock (customizable Docks) ... etc, that help you customize Windows to 100%


Icon Packager comes within this Suite.

If u want to try WindowBlinds and you don't want to damage your OS.


1) First create a Backup
2) Uninstall UxStyle or UxThemePatcher
3) clean the Windows registry (with Ccleaner maybe)
4) Restart and install


Being already in WindowBlinds .. when applying a theme, remember that u need "Start10" to apply the theme to the start menu.
