Changing XP Folder Icon

External Since: Apr 19, 2008 Posts: 3

I would like to replace XP folder icon with Vista's. Can anyone tell me,
where to get high resolution icon that very closely resemble Vista. More
over, I 'think' I know how to change the icon manually but I just don't know
the location of default XP icon folder because I do not want to create
another folder. Please assist me. Thanks
