So one day after a hard day at school (finals. omfg I am going to hate math
forever.) i decided to go and play Team Fortress 2 to relax. When my computer
booted up lo and behold! my "Documents" folder's icon went awol. Instead of
the blue transparent folder with a bunch of papers in it, the standard folder
icon (the empty opaque yellow folder) stood in its place. How do I get the
original icon back? Customization of the Documents folder gives no choices
for changing the icon. What do I do? It's a great eyesore.

Hi G.Freeman,

This tutorial will show you how to change the yellow Documents folder
back to the blue green folder.
