I've cleared the cache, rebuilt it, rebooted. Nothing works.
Now I know folder icons are customizable system wide, because A) I had
it that way before, and B) Flyakite has installed their own blue icons.
So I'm stumped as to what it takes to override these dern blue icons.
Any ideas?
TIA

I've customized my own folders (sysem wide) and have the same problem as you
since... Windows 2000 sp2 ! It seems the open/save dialog don't use the
registry settings for displaying the icons as do Explorer. By exemple, I
have installed a lot of "Kristal" folder icons by "hacking" the registry but
the opens/save dialog (and IE file browser, too) displays only the hugly
standard yellow folder icons, when its ok everywhere else (Explorer,
mostly).
And it seems that dispite the name of this newsgroup, except us, nobody care
;-) ...
I've found a way to bypass it, editing the Shell32.dll with an icon editor.
But it must be redone each time the dll is updated with a new version by
service pack or WU.
I'm interested with the fact that your Flyakite was able to change this
bug/behaviour. Does it install some executable, or replace the original
shell32.dll ? Can you edit it with an icon editor to check that point ?....
