If the changes are not reflected after a reboot, follow this:
- Right-click Desktop, choose Properties, Appearance Tab.
- Click Advanced button, choose Icon from the drop-down list
- Set the Icon size to 31 and press OK. Close the dialog
- Repeat the above steps (1-3) and set the Icon size to 32 (defaults)

Australia won the first test match in the 1800s, the first ODI in the 1970s,
and now the first 20/20 International.

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Shell
Icons]
"Number from list below"="Path to icon, Icon index"The list below specifies
the number for the default shell icons.
The path to icon is a dos path to the icon, in a registry file remembe to
use \\ (regedit rmoves one \ when merging).
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.
