    Need a little bit of help with Windows XP

    Hi, I was running around changing icons with tune-up on my computer today and ran into 3 that I couldn't change:
    The "My Pictures" file,
    The "My Music" file,
    The "My Video's" file.

    Here is a screenshot:


    I was logged on as an administrator, never had a problem upto now, system restore wouldn't work, safe mode wouldn't work, and making another account and making that admin also wouldn't work.


    And the icons they are stuck on look really ugly at the moment. (The files are in the start menu)

    Oh before I forget, does getting 30 rep really get you instant members status?
    If so, are you aloud to ask for rep in your posts/siggy? If not, I read about it here: http://www.srl-forums.com/forum/announcement.php?f=17

    If i remember correctly i think you can't change the icons for those files. I'll check though.

    Or maybe the account you're logged in ( For windows) Ain't an administrator account? Properly it's a limited one which can't change files and stuff.

    You gotta be on an administrator account.

    I'm using a program called tune-up to change the icons, and I am an administrator.

    Argh no new replies,
    Oh to make sure you can't get a new uid edit the current uid.dat file using notepad and delete all text then save and set as read only. Works wonders
    I am really lucky I did that last night because my little brother went on my computer and closed rs and restarted it.


    EDIT: Do not do what I said above! Jagex will create another uid and another folder called Jagex Cache 34!!!! Spread this round please.
    Hope my accounts don't get banned...

    And as far as I know 30 rep does NOT give you member status. Just write a good script and you can get in.

    And try pressing twice crtl-alt-del at the login screen, and login as user "administrator" with no password.
    I made a new script, check it out!.

    you CAN change those icons, but you will probably have to be in safe mode on an admin account to do so, also try going to run, type sevices.msc there you can shut down security and file protection services, (and a lot more) then you should be able to change pretty much what you want(still need to be on an admin account though.)

    I own this computer I'm on so I'm definitely admin on it, and tried in safe mode already. Im going to reinstall windows soon.
    By the way, my computer is behaving weird because I have a vista theme pack on it, now after the boot screen it tries to locate the vista files, then loads XP and when I log off and hit ctrl-alt-del twice it says windows vista at the top, never had that before... (With this theme pack, its called "Vista Transformation Pack 6" if you want it type that into Google) Works great.
