Folder Icons?

[noRemorse]

I know I've read about changing the default icons for all the folders, and I've read that It's not possible. But somehow, and I can't remember how, I did it. But now the icons are bugging me and I'd like to change them. Is there a way? Or is it possible
to reset all the icons completely (every icon)?? Thanks

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\explorer\Sh=
ell Icons]
"Number from list below"=3D"Path to icon, Icon index"The list below =
specifies the number for the default shell icons.=20

The path to icon is a dos path to the icon, in a registry file remembe =
to use \\ (regedit rmoves one \ when merging).=20

The icon index is used when the icons are coming from a binary file like =
a .dll or .exe. It is the position of the icon in the file (a negitive =
number is the inverse of the resource ID). Omit the comma and Icon Index =
when using an .ICO file.

To get the index create a shortcut, right click and choose Properties, =
then Change Icon, then Browse. Select the file and click open. The icons =
are numbered from 0 downwards then across.

Icons can also be set under the Default Icon setting for the object in =
HKEY_ROOT (which is where Windows stores its' icon information), the =
Shell Icon setting overrides this.

Download a zip file called OpenFolder.zip containing a green open icon =
and registry file that makes the current open folder in Explorer green. =
In later versions of the shell the icon index must be specified (which =
is 0) and an extra reg file has been added (15/9/00). Please let me know =
which reg file works with which version of Windows / Internet Explorer.

Plus changes may not show till you do this.

To refresh the icons in the system change the size of icons in Start - =
Control Panel - Display - Appearance, click apply then change the size =
back.
