I can't change folder icons
Windows Home Version 1909
Here is what I did I have went and pressed Windows + R and then in there I went to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer" without quotes. And I added the "Shell Icons" folder in the "Explorer Folder" and then on the right side in the open area. I right clicked and "New" and then "String Value" and then I also put in 4. After that I also tried a icon that I download from the internet. I even tried the "C:\Windows\System32\shell32.dll,-290" and after this even after logging out or restarting the only place where the icons changed was in the RegEditor but not anywhere else.
I even tried to change the default folder icons and that just left me with a white icon. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
I even used the "Rebuild Icon Cache" and that didn't help ether.
I hope someone can help me figure out where I went wrong.
