Vista: Ripristinare le icone di default delle cartelle speciali

Se avete erroneamente modificato le icone di default delle cartelle Documenti, Download, Musica, Ricerche, Preferiti … o se avete notato che Windows Vista ha smarrito le impostazioni originarie, sicuramente vi starete chiedendo come ripristinare l’icona di default di tali cartelle speciali visto che, manualmente e tramite la solita procedura, questo sembra impossibile. In verità, le icone collegate a tali cartelle, vengono impostate tramite il file Desktop.ini nascosto all’interno di ogni cartella: Reimpostare i valori di default non sembra però difficile poichè basterà creare un nuovo file Desktop.ini da andar a sovrascrivere all’originale…

Se ad esempio avete perso l’icona della cartella “Musica”, dovrete andar ad incollare in un nuovo file “Blocco note” la seguente stringa:

[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21790
InfoTip=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-12689
IconResource=%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll,-108
IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll
IconIndex=-237
[LocalizedFileNames]
Sample Music.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21806

Ora spostatevi in “Salva con nome”, impostate “Salva come: Tutti i file” e date al nuovo file il nome Desktop.ini. Salvate il file all’interno della directory “Musica”, confermate e sovrascrivete al file originale. Al prossimo riavvio, Windows Vista avrà reimpostato l’icona di default.

Naturalmente la procedura è identica per tutte le altre cartelle le uniche differenze si hanno nelle stringhe e naturalmente nel percorso di salvataggio (Musica per Musica, Documenti per Documenti, Preferiti per Preferiti …). Ecco le varie stringhe:
