Windows 10: Windows 10 Taskbar "Default" folder icon change?

Hello, please help me figure this out, I would like to change default folder icon, but don't know how. I think it can be done with regedit, but I need a little help to navigate where and what to change, please help *Smile

This icon appears when you open any folder.

taskbar

This is my problem exactly! I am trying to get the Cortana search box back onto the taskbar but when I right click on an empty space on the taskbar, all I get is "show notification icons," "show app icons," "automatically hide taskbar," etc. And I can't
find taskbar preferences that will give me back the default search box in settings. Help please.

 

Windows 10 Anniversary Update - Folder Icon

I also face the same problem, the default icon has caused GREAT PROBLEM and NO ONE can resolve this issue.

Thanks to Microsoft Windows 10 Anniversary!

 

One thing Win10 left out is on the right-click and Properties of a Taskbar shortcut, can't change things. For File Explorer I first Unpinned it from the Taskbar then I opened File Explorer, right-clicked This PC and chose Send to which allowed creating a new shortcut on the Desktop which gives a generic icon. Then I right-clicked it and Properties then Change icon to choose a different one. Then I dragged the shortcut to the Taskbar. I do have one small program that doesn't have to be installed to run and haven't been able to do the same with it, not a 'biggie'.

 

try to use windows 10 manager, it's work perfectly

 

The missing link to the program:
Windows 10 Manager Download - Softpedia

 

You can edit the taskbar shortcuts here:
%AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar

I changed File Explorer to a ! in a yellow triangle:





You need to rebuild the icon cache for the effects to take place (i.e. see your changed icon). See Icon Cache - Rebuild in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

 

Just wanted to say nice find. I'm excited to install and play with it- Thanks!
