    Shimshom gave you one easy and working way via askVG hack

    Give attention that not all display view mode show the hacked custom folder icon

    You have to enable "always display icons and not thumbnails" so you lose that feature but you see your default folder icon anywhere in windows explroer whatever view you chose

    Before going ahead with changing imageres.dll try to clear your icon cache then restart and if that doesn't work I'll try to change the icon for you

    Try to use an Expandable String Value instead of a string value in the Shell Icons folder and also create a Shell Folder Subkey in
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer and also create the same Expandable String Value with the path to your icon . When you insert the path to the icon do you remove the " from the path

    I purchased Icon Packager, i can select whatever i want, as folder default icon, but i won't use / keep this software, because the option "always display icons and not thumbnails" is gone
    Could you, please, modify the imageres.dll, with the blue icon folder ?

    Thank you
