Swap Your Old Briefcase For a Metal one (W98)

[Hally]

Here's a great trick /images/forums/icons/cool.gif

Are you sick of the old leather briefcase on the desktop, swap it for a metal one

First export (backup) the key (in blue below) for easy recovery

METAL BRIEFCASE
================
This Registry tweak allows you to change it to a nice metal briefcase icon, for your viewing pleasure. Its easy to do. . . all I had to do is change the 0 to a 1

Start Regedit & go to:

<font color=blue>HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\88{85BBD920-42A0-1069-A2E4-08002B30309D}\DefaultIcon</font color=blue>

Double-click on the right hand panel "Default" value -&gt; it should show <font color=blue>"syncui.dll,0"</font color=blue> change it to <font color=blue>"syncui.dll,1"</font color=blue> (don't type the quotes).

Syncui.dll (located in C:\Windows\System) stores several icons but only 2 of them are briefcases: icon 0 represents the brown briefcase (default) and icon 1 represents the metal (aluminum) briefcase.

Close Regedit & press F5 on the Desktop to refresh when done."

Thats a cool trick Hally.
