Part I:
I downloaded 2 themes for my windows XP: Vista inspirate and alienware darkstare. I want to use vista with some icons from darkstar. The main thing I want to change are the folders, and maybe the HDDs. I can't locate the darkstar icons when I installed the theme. Any idea where they are stored ?
Once they are found, how can I set them for the folders ?
Part II:
While trying to achieve Part I, I ended up in Control Panel -> Folder Options -> File types. There I found 2 types: Folders and File Folders. They change Icon is shaded for the folders. I changed the icon of the file folders to see what will happen. The default action for file folders was set to search. When I changed the icon, everytime I tried to open a folder, it would open the search window. I created a new command, called it open, with the command "explorer.exe". Since then it opens a folder in a new window, regardless if I chose "browse in the same window" in tools -> folder options. I'm really tempted to reformat, it's driving me crazy !!
Any ideas ?
