how to change folder icons, and find model of processor

[imported_tightflks]

as for the folder icon thing:
I have a partition, and when on XP i made my documents on a seperate partition, and there were like different folder icons, such as my music, my movies, my downloads

but when i moved to win2k pro, the folder icons, well changed to lil white page with a windows icon on it

And i just want to change it to a regular folder icon, or maybe those ones from XP if possible

As for the processer model:
there were two types, i have an XP 2200+ and apparently there was a model 10 and a model 8, would like to know what i have

Try CPU-Z from http://www.cpuid.com for the CPU thing (assuming it's in a running system at the moment).

For the icons, open My Computer, click Tools > Folder Options, then the File Types tab on the resulting panel. Select a file type, click the Advanced button, and you can specify an icon to use with it. That'll help with filetypes, anyway.

You need different folder icons?

Go to Microsoft and download TweakUI and install it. I believe there's a Rebuild Icons feature in it.

Then I would right-click in the blank part of the window, choose New > Folder, type a name for the new folder, press Enter... bingo, you got a folder with a normal folder icon 😀 Dump in your files from the folder with the messed-up icon, delete the messed-up-icon folder now it's empty, and there you go.

:Q ~ it's so crazy, it just might work!
