  1. Is there any way to customize the folder icons in 'This PC'?


    Hi,

    As the title says, I'm trying to change the default look of the folders located in 'This PC' (Desktop, Documents, Downloads, etc). By this I mean when viewing in 'This PC', and not in 'C:\User Data\', which has no problems.

    I have tried:

    - Editing windows.ini (didn't seem to work)

    - Using Winaero Tweaker to delete the default files and replace them with copies made by the program with the desired icons. (worked, except for some reason this severely messed up windows explorer when using them [Lag, freezes, folders not updating, etc])

    Is there another way I can go about this? Or do the above methods work, but I've messed up? Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

    :)

    Is there any way to customize the emergency number on my icon?

    the emergency call button will work even if you don't have a sim card on the device. it obviously cannot be customised.

    you can always add the emergency contact to the speed dial page and pin it to the home screen. easy and quick to find.
     
  3. Is there any way to customize the emergency number on my icon?

    I live in a community that has its own emergency response group. They are the group you want to call in case of an emergency and they have their own dedicated number. Currently, if I hit "Emergency call" on the lock screen of my icon all I get is a keypad
    waiting for me to enter a phone number. Dialing 911 greatly extends the response time for us and unlocking the phone and looking up the emergency response number defeats the benefit of having the emergency call feature available.

    Is there any way to enter the correct emergency response number into the "emergency call" feature?

    Thanks....
