Colorize Or Change Icons For All Folders
May 15, 2010
Using Outlook 2003 to keep open an email message while I respond to it. Now, the message I received goes away when I hit reply Let me do repetitive tasks by returning to the same folder, same view, same place? have to upload photos to some funky website that allows only one photo at a time. Even though the photos are all in sequence in a folder, for each upload I have drill down into the folder, change the view from the default "list" to the "details" view I need, sort that list by "date" and then select my photo to upload. Windows folder view and folder options has proven unreliable at best or useless, reportedly because I have more than 4,000 folders. I don't think I have that many but it never has worked and my tech support guy for my home office can't get it working Let me colorize or change icons for all folders so that when they are open at the bottom of my screen I can readily distinguish them from the email messages that are open

It seems that the default view for all folders is the view with folders open on the left side of the folder. Clicking the X on the left pane or click off the Floders button on the tool bar changes the folders view to the Windows XP style folder view. Then going to Tools>Folders Options and cklicing the View tab, then clicking on the button, Apply to All Folders does not apply this change to all folders and resets the folder back to what it was before I made the change.

This should be an easy one, so just humour this dim-wit. When organising folders, how do I change the details? I have the folder in the details view, and know how to change which details it shows, but can't for the life of me figure out how to actually change the individual details of each folder. eg add the 'Year' detail column, how do I input the year for each folder? this seems like the most obvious, simple thing but is alluding me at the moment.

Not sure if this is really considered a tweak or useful but I love it and everyone i show it to does also. Works on 98se to XP.Create a new folder of any name in my Documents, now put any shortcut to a program you would like. Drag the folder drom the DOCument folder onto your task bar where your clock is. Now you have a customized quick folder for accessing programs on the fly without the clutter of desktop icons

I wanted to change icons on my desktop. so i was looking for the function, went into folder options, then to file types tab, I clicked on file folders, then on advanced. Didn't select anything, clicked ok. After that every time I click on a folder it would open in acdsee. So I went back there, couldn't find a setting to readjust it, then added a new command to open folders in explorer. Now each folder I click on opens in a new window.

Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs will not load. It just keeps searching and searching for the "programs" and never actually shows the programs to remove.

Let's say, for example, I had an icon on my desktop for My Documents. Is there any way to make the text "My Documents" black instead of white, because I cant see the white text on my white desktop picture.

It was impossible to get an Icon Package / Theme that would change ALL the icons in the Start Manu. The Typical Problem would arise with the Search and Run icons (I have disabled the rest...)A small search in the registry and I managed to identify the "keys" that control the default icons.To change them you need to get in the registry, and that can be done by going to Start > Run (or WinKey+R) and typing "regedit" (yes, without the quotes...)

Can you tell me if it's possible to change the icons back to the original ones from websites? All my Favorite icons are the same (the default IE icon). Is it possible to change them all together or they have to be done one by one?

Go to control panel, folder options. Click on the File Types tab. Scroll to the file extensions you want to change and click change. Select the program you want. But it will not let me apply it as the apply button is grayed out.

Last night I had to reinstall my drivers. I've double checked them all and believe them to be correct. My Icons now change to a sickly green when I hover over them or select one. My " favorites" also change to the same green when I chose one. I did something wrong but don't know what.

Are there any ways to change updating time of the icons in system tray? The only solution I've found is by hoovering the cursor above the area.

Have XP Home Edition with all current updates. Do not have toolbars locked. By mistake, moved the whole Quick Launch Taskbar and lost it. When I went to Start > Properties > and enabled Show Quick Launch, I got it back with all my icons. The problem is that they are no longer displayed in the order that I want and I can not drag them to change the order. Sometime in the past, I was able to drag them to change their rder. Again, I do not have the toolbars lock set. I went to my application dataMicrosoftIEQuick Launch and changed the sort order of the folder but it did not change the
display order when I rebooted the system.

I reinstalled Windows for my sister, who is visually impaired. I just installed Windows XP Pro. Just finished it, and then handed it over to her, to customize her settings. Since she has bad vision, she usually lowers the resolution down to 800x600 and has the font size and title bar sizes larger. Well as soon as I left her alone with her computer, she messed up the windows or icon settings so bad, so everything is HUGE. Everything is so huge, that (what should be) small menus now fill the whole screen. We can't get to the part of the preferences window to change the resolution to something higher, and we can't get to anywhere (that we know of) to change anything back to something resembling normal. Basically, we can't do anything anymore.I know I can reinstall Windows XP all over again, but since I JUST DID THAT I'd like to avoid having to do it all over again. Is there some way to reset the preferences, without having to reinstall the whole operating system for something so seemingly idiotic?

but i got a music folder with close to 100 seperate artist folders inside....all of which contain mp3's from various artists. (About 1200 mp3 files all inside these 100 folders...all inside 1 folder if that makes any sense)I'm thinking about moving all those mp3's outside there folders so that i have just one continuous stream of mp3's. Basically i want just my mp3's inside the main folder without their individual artist folder.
