Icon location
on November 28th 2006
Can anyone give me the path to the icons for the pictures, downloads, videos, etc. folders in Vista? I accidently deleted one of these and i dont know how to get it back so im just going to create a new folder and try to give it the correct icon.

Most of the icons in Windows are located in Shell32.dll, which is the default dll when customizing icon of a folder.

Thanks Vlasta, but I have looked in here but unfortunately they are not there.
Any other suggestions?

Well, I currently do not have rtm Vista installed. A brute force approach will be to use Batch Icon Extractor on the entire Windows and maybe also Programs folders and then examine the icons. The filenames of the extracted icons contain the name of the dlls and identifiers of the icons - finding the icons should not be difficult.
