Remember the old 'My Documents' icon that was on the desktop from Windows 98 to Windows XP? You know, the one that was a shell folder, and not just a shortcut? Have you ever wanted that on Windows Vista and newer? Well if so, then this tweak is for you!
This is something I put together a few years ago (from my early days on SevenForums), and I thought I'd share it on here.
NOTE: This will not replace your user profile icon. This will simply allow you to have both icons on the desktop, as seen here:
Also, chances are, you're going to need to take ownership of the following registry keys, as well as their subkeys:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Enjoy!
