Hello all,

i changed all my icons a few days ago but for some reason the Desktop and Open/Closed Folders aren't changed in the "Browse..." pop-up windows, but are changed when i open them in the normal windows (see screenshot link). I'm on Windows Home SP2 and i used CandyXP and then CustomIcons to change the icons.

Help would be really appreciated and i'm sorry if this is on the wrong forum!

Some of the things that microsoft "owns" are set in the registry in places the user commands don't touch. The registry has to be edited to change these (and a special procedure is needed to keep some Microsoft programs from changing them back).
