changing open folder icon in vista

[Mark]

I had a registry fix for this once and lost it...
When you are in regedit especially, or using the folder view in explorer...
the closed folder icon and open icon are the same. In regedit when you are
searching for something it makes it very hard to see which thread you are
viewing since the icons are the same.
Any one know of the tweak to fixing this is?
Thanks
Mark

I just use the search facility. Takes you to where you want to go.

I found the tweak...
Regedit:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Shell
Icons]
"4"="C:\\windows\\system32\\Shell32.dll,137"
You have to make a new key of Shell Icons if its not there.. and then a new
string value of 4 and it works great.
