Jody Thornton Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) I know this sounds picky, but in Windows 7 and Windows 8x, how do I restore the "proper" Documents icon? By proper, I mean the one that actually shows the Location tab in the Properties menu. I have it as a shortcut, but I want the actual icon on the desktop. Thanks folks EDIT: Basically, I want to open this below as a desktop shortcut - BUT I want to right-click on it and see the "Location" tab in there too. shell:UsersFilesFolder\Documents Edited May 21, 2019 by Jody Thornton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BYTE-ME Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) Try icon # 108 in: C:\Windows\System32\imageres.dll. Edited June 9, 2019 by BYTE-ME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCyborg Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I think what you're trying to accomplish relies on the shell's internal logic, the option along with all supporting code would probably have to be added to the dialog that opens when you click Change desktop icons from Personalization control panel. So, since MS won't do it, the only option would be analyzing system DLLs and injecting new code into them, a non-trivial task I imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
