[CJSnet]

How can I get my special Vista downloads folder icon back - it's just a
normal folder icon now?

Go to the Start Orb and type "shell:downloads" (no quotes) into the search box.
That will take you to the downloads file and should reset the icon.

Anyone?

Thanks, but how does this reset the Downloads folder *icon* which has been
lost and replaced by a standard vanilla folder icon?

I would really love a solution to this if anyone at MS can comment?

Well, I fixed this by copying back the desktop.ini hidden system file from
another Vista PC, marking it and the folder as read only, and rebooting.

Hope this helps somebody else.
