Windows 10: Modify Folder Icons Under "This PC" In Explorer/Navigation Pane

As well directed by Brink I am starting this thread here as I was working off a tutorial with changing Library Icons when this problem came up, for your referencing delight ->> Change Library Icon in Windows 10

I was able to get the library icons changed however I am really interested in the icons indicated in the below picture. I changed my drives icons already through registry and I'm just wondering if these require the same and where the key(s) are for it, although I think I may have stumbled upon it by happenstance. For example compare the two entries below the first picture. any thoughts? Note: many of the entries reference other entries there and other system links so use care if you tinker! Thanks for your help and attention in advance, no rush on any of this obviously...

Sorry no time to crop need to rush out for a moment:




Registry Path Possibility:

windows explorer

File Explorer navigation pane shows my Onedrive\Documents folder under "This PC" instead of my C:\Users\AccountName\Documents folder that should be there. This change occurred sometime in the recent past. The same is true of my Onedrive\Pictures folder.
They also appear under "Onedrive" where they should be. I don't know what caused this and can find no way to correct it.

 

File Explorer This PC view (Adding folders or shortcuts too)

Haven't tried adding a custom shell folder under "This PC", but that might work. Easier way would be to add a library with your chosen name and show it in the nav pane, under Libraries section. You need to enable "Show Libraries" in the navigation pane.

 

Hello Patrick, *Smile

I haven't forgot about you. I'm working on a tutorial for this now for you. It's a little bit complicated and detailed and trying to find an easier way, but I should have it posted later today. I'll post back with a link to the new tutorial when it's finished.

 

Oh man, you are just too much of a good thing! *Smile I don't feel neglected at all! In fact I felt bad for not logging in until just a bit ago, I was like "Uh-Oh, now he probably thinks I'm one of these forum scrapers who get's what they need and leaves" lol, but then I was like, "he knows I need sleep...I know HE doesn't need sleep though" (you shawn, you are bionic!). Anyway, it's all good, take your time, it's just customizing, I'll live without my silly cat icons for awhile...awhile... lol Get to it whenever you can, never any pressure. *Smile Much like The Dude, The pup will typically abide! *Wink

 

Ok. All finished. *Smile
