Hi

I changed location of Videos and Pictures folder's to a second HDD and when I changed it back to default then appearance of that folder changed to a regular folder.

Any idea how to restore the folder icon back to default? Thanks

I have found a solution for windows xp in this  page but that doesn't work in windows 8.1

Hi Kate

"Always show icon, never thumbnails" was unchecked. I ran the script but with no success. This is what came up

Note: I ran PowerShell normal and I also try to ran it as administrator. This pic is with administrator.

I also changed execution policy to undefined and I get the same result

Normally rebuilding the icon cache restores the default icons. 
Try running the Diagnose and Repair Windows File and Folders. 
Should this not work there are other things that we can try.
1. Create a new account then log into it. Verify that the icons are correct then transfer your data into your new account.
2. Instead, you could do a System Restore to an earlier point in time prior to the icons changing.

Hi Bruce

I already fix that by changing path of the target folder icon to C:\Windows\System32\imageres.dll and chose icon as it was by default. There should be an option to keep user icons by default or use a target folder icon. Is it possible to add it there? At least to windows 10
