Hi all, does anyone know where the user icons are located? I would like to
use one as an icon for a folder, but I can't locate the file it is in. If
anyone has any information that would be great, thanks in advance.

Not sure what you mean by "user icons." You'll often find icons in .exe
files and also in .dll files.

You can change the icon for many files and folders. Just right click on it
and select Properties. Look for a 'Change Icon' button.

I was wondering if you can tell me how to restore to default so that
the icons will display as they are in "tile" view...see i made a
mistake by changing the icon for the ".ico" extension in the folders
option. I tried to see what my laptop setup is but no help because it
says that windows cannot find the "%1" file.....TIA

TRompoElCulo,

[Start]
| Run |
regedit
[Enter]

Delete this sub-key [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\icofile\DefaultIcon]

However, if you want Windows Explorer to render the icon of each .ICO file as the contents of that .ICO file itself, then either
create or modify the sub-key [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\icofile\DefaultIcon] so that its "(default)" value is "%1".

REFERENCE:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ico]
@="Icon.Document"
"PerceivedType"="image"
"Content Type"="image/x-icon"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ico\PersistentHandler]
@="{098f2470-bae0-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\icofile]
@="Icon"
"ImageOptionFlags"=dword:00000000
"EditFlags"=dword:00000000
"AlwaysShowExt"=""
"BrowserFlags"=dword:00000008

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\icofile\DefaultIcon]
@="%1"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\icofile\shell]
@=""
