    Dropbox folder icons confusion


    As a user of Dropbox, many of my folder icons look like this:

    The icon is identical to shortcuts to folders. So when there is a mixture of these it is hard to distinguish them. I'm wondering if there is a safe and simple way to change all folder shortcut icons, perhaps by just a colour change:

    Dropbox folder question

    before when I install dropbox there's this icon below in the desktop which allows me in GMAIL to attach files inside the dropbox from desktop. (there were that icon and also the dropbox.exe icon)

    http://www.google.com/imgres?um=1&h...art=0&ndsp=18&ved=1t:429,r:15,s:0&tx=45&ty=43

    I've just reinstalled windows and the dropbox folder is gone but the dropbox.exe is still there. When I try to attach files from the dropbox in GMAIL, I cant, because if I try to open the dropbox, GMAIL would just attach the whole .exe file

    Please help

    Thanks
