I'm trying to find out how to change the 'Documents' Folder icon in the left column
to resemble the icon used in the right hand column, up to now I've had no luck no
matter how many tips and tricks I've tried from information gathered online.
I was able to change the 'Desktop' icon which had a similar problem but up to now
I still can't resolve the issue.
Any help or solution that anyone can offer would be very much appreciated. 👍

regedit


Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{A8CDFF1C-4878-43be-B5FD-F8091C1C60D0}\DefaultIcon


The problem is that this key can only be changed as 'TrustedInstaller', which I never do.

(In the Documents folder, changed desktop.ini)

The Video and Music folders do not require this.

It is probably possible to replace icon #112 in the imageres.dll file, but I also don’t really recommend it.
