Hi,
From what I understand, every virtual folder, like favorites, history,
Control Panel etc, has a CLSID key. I have a virtual folder called
Recent. I think the directory is C:\Document and settings\Application
Data\Administrator\Recent.

What are you wanting? The keys/ values that control its behavior?

I want to change its icon so that it looks like an ordinary folder.

I have searched for "defaulticon" under HKCR\CLSID, but nothing seems to
fit.

You are welcome. No disrespect, but if you had stated the end goal
at the beginning it might have been faster to get a workable
solution. Just a thought.

I succesfully changed the icons for the virtual folders "favorites",
"history" and "tempoarary internet files" by using the CLSID keys. It
really didn't occur to me that a different method was to be used with
the actual folder.
