[SOLVED] How to change user folders (e.g. Documents) icons in Windows 10?

[myne145]

Hello,
I want to customize my user folders icons, in my Windows 10 (with dark theme + UXThemePatcher).
I tried using Customizer God, but it gives me an error: "UpdateResource#3\#1156 failed: The parameter is incorrect."
Is there any other way to customize icons (or fix this error)?

Thanks for help!

Have you tried the straight forward way yet?

That would be to do this:

• Open Explorer
• In the address bar type in C:\Users\YourName like C:\Users\GardenMan
• Right click on the folder, choose Properties, go to Customize and change the Folder Picture there.

It's working, but how do I make it appear in My Computer?
It's only showing when I enter the folder.

Only continue if you feel comfortable editing your registry. Editing your registry wrong can destroy your system requiring a full reinstall of Windows. Make a backup before editing it. Know how to restore that backup before editing it. More info here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...-windows-855140ad-e318-2a13-2829-d428a2ab0692

I just tested this and it worked for me.

Here is results that I see. I changed the Music icon only. I did have to create the correct registry keys because they were not already there.
