One of my computers has a special icon for "My Videos" folder, but the other computer has just the ordinary folder icon. How can I change the icon to be the special "My Videos" folder icon?
TIA

Scroll down a little and click on Special Folders.
My Videos desktop.ini should look like this.

IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll
IconIndex=-238

Allen said:Nope, didn't help. The desktop.ini file was missing so I added it, but
"My Videos" still has the standard folder icon.
Any more ideas?
