    Where does Windows store folder view icons?


    Below are the icons that Im looking to locate and replace.

    I have skimmed through imageres.dll, explorerframe.dll , shell32.dll and 60 more .dll and .cpl files in both SySWoW64 and system32 directories, but have not managed to located these 14 icons.

    Does anyone know which .dll / .exe / .cpl file these icons are located in?

    Ive replaced almost all system icons but these 14 are starting to drive me bonkers.

    Temp Files & Folders

    Hi



    I'm not familiar with Maemo (Linux), but in Windows there are temporary folders that start filling up and need emptying every so often.



    Now I've installed and uninstalled a few apps on my N900 and opened a few email attachments and in Windows there would be left-over temporary files that should automatically be deleted but aren't, and because of this there are windows apps designed to remove
    all unnecessary temp files and folders as well as cleaning out the registry.



    Does the same sort of thing happen in Linux/Maemo? Does Maemo use a Registry that can get 'dirty'?



    When viewing an email attached image, I can view its details which tell me it's stored in a folder called something like '69987334' inide a folder called 'var'. Where is this 'var' folder? And is the image and folder deleted when I close the viewer or am
    I building up a collection of viewed attachments?



    Thanks.
