Is their a good way to change all the yellow folders in XP including subfolders without changing them individually?

I thought i did it through file folders in folder options. I went to file types and file folders and i saw change icon, but it didn't give me the new icon i choose for folder views.

Instead i changed the way file folders opened, istead of default, it used winamp. I had a hell of a time restoring that.

But their is way to change the look of all those bare looking folders.

You were pretty big into themes, weren't you? That's really the easiest way I know of. XP is pretty limited as far as customizing folder views.

That looks pretty sweet! Give some feedback after using it for a while, I'd grab it but $50 is a bit steep for something I may not like. They claim better performance too, let us know!

Pretty much any wavs you want, just google for wavs. Then you can set each sound for a function in the sound cp.

I used to use invader zim alot, got some hilarious ones.

Folder Marker (http://www.foldermarker.com/) will do this...I wasn't sure if it did but I double checked and you can change all folders in your system with it.

I agree, the default Windows sounds can be boring. I changed my Startup sound to a clip from Pink Floyd's cut Welcome To The Machine --- "welcome my son, welcome to the machine". I cut of the bit from a Cd track using the old Windows Sound Recorder.

My Windows Exit sound is a girl saying "Initiating shutdown sequence".

I've been using these since Windows 98 if I remember correctly.
