    Where Are the New Folder Icons Stored?


    I've recently installed Windows 11 & moved some of the User folders to another drive. In doing so, the icons for some of the folders have changed & I would like to change them back to their default icons. I am able to find some of the new icons in the traditional locations, but am unable to find the new icons for the following folders:Favorites/Links/Saved Games/Searches. Can anyone tell me where these are located, please?In addition, it seems that the Contacts & Desktop folders have lost the ability to customise them.

    :)

    How to make a Uber Hidden Folder

    • Make a new folder.
    • Change the icon to a blank icon. No icon should appear
    • Rename the folder to a blank by pressing "alt + 255." (NOTE: Press 255 on the numpad) No text should appear.
    • Your done! It is uber hidden. *Big Grin Where Are the New Folder Icons Stored? :D

    Change Folder Icon in Windows 10


    I just acquired a new laptop running Windows 10 and am trying to change the icons of the folders in the StartUp "Program" folder so that they would stand out a little better. I used my admin account and followed all the steps listed above, but when I clicked on "Apply", nothing happened. The same basic windows folder icon remained attached to the folder. I also tried to go into Properties and capitalize some of the folder names, but that didn't work either. Looks like something is protecting them, but I cannot figure out what it is much less how to get around this blockage, Any suggestions?
