[Vista] How to Restore Folder Icons to Default

FolderBug Did you notice any problem or somewhat different in the folders? Recently, I installed a program to customize the current Windows Vista theme and icons. I am so amazed with the program because they gave three themes for free! But one thing I got so angry, For the second time (Same with the previous version), it did not restore my folder Icons  to default.

I will not say the name of the program because I want to give them a chance to develop the program Again and hopefully, In the next version they will fix the bug.

 

Notes Before Installing any program:

1. If possible, Download the program in the author's website.

2. Click the link and Read about Adding a Right-Click Menu (Context Menu) to your Computer Icon for a Creating a Restore Point easily.
