Restoring default icons?

In my user folder, there were several folders I didn't want, as I would never
use them, so I decided to delete them. (Favorites, Videos) But Vista
automatically restored the folders and put them back. This is fine and all,
but it didn't put the icons of the folders back to the ones they're supposed
to be, they now look like regular folders, and this annoys me as it makes my
User folder look messy. I couldn't find an icon option in the properties
window, how do I restore the original icons?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Sal,

You need the correct desktop.ini (which has hidden and system attributes) in
each folder to show the correct icon. The only solution I can think of is
to create a new user account, copy the desktop.ini from the appropriate
folder from that account, and paste the desktop.ini into each folder that
you need to change. When you're done, you can delete the new account.
