Former Mavericks-style icon for file downloads

Hey everybody,

I upgraded from 10.9.x Mavericks at 10.11. El Capitan a couple of weeks. All running smoothly so far. However, so that almost all the icons folder has changed to the new design of turquoise, the downloads folder icon still has this mute blue color of the Mavericks OS design.

And it's in the dock and finder as well as all the drop down menus, where the downloads folder icon appears.

Any ideas why this is the case and how to fix it? As in El Capitan, it seems that the regular way to the evolution of the icons of folders no longer works, I don't know how to change it.

Yours,

Philipp

Try to find the downloads folder in the Finder, then read the information.

Select the icon in the upper left corner of the Info window and press to delete the key. It can have a custom icon assigned. Remove the custom icon needs to restore the default icon.

  • Alternative icon for file Associations

    So I thinapp had Orca, the, I can't live without it, editor of MSI from the Microsoft SDK.

    Orca is an MSI Editor, joins with the .msi files.  You do a right click on a file, msi, and you get install, repair, uninstall, edit with Orca.

    No Probs, thinreg which handles very well.

    Problem.

    Of all the .msi have now Orca as the default icon instead of the default icon of msiexec.exe

    Is there a way to prevent the thinreg to crush the DefaultIcon existing for the file association?

    or

    Is there a way to specify the default icon for file types?

    Aesthetics can make all the difference to the end user experience.

    In your project folder, copy the file to msi icon attached to %ProgramFilesDir%\Orca\MSI_Icon.ico

    And add the following lines to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.txt file:

  • How can I automatically run anti-virus for files downloaded from Firefox on Linux (Ubuntu)?

    Double I start my computer with Windows 7 and sometimes download EXEs under Linux to use under Windows. I tried to use Fireclam but this addon freezes the browser for a few seconds each time a download is finished. I have also tried to play with automatic stop, but he couldn't understand. I wonder if there is another automated and faster way to scan downloaded files. I have Avast installed on Ubuntu already, is it possible that I can call from Firefox whenever a download is complete?

    EDIT: After some research more, I came across this:
    https://Bugzilla.Mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=427258
    https://mail.Mozilla.org/pipermail/Firefox-dev/2013-August/000848.html

    I did not know that the feature has been removed in fact completely from Firefox last year, I guess that I was not paying much attention to what is happening in the history of downloads even in Windows. Looks like I'll have to analyze manually before using files anyway.

    Some antivirus programs will be automaticlly analyze downloaded files.

  • where can I get additional icons for my files and folders in xp

    I need additional icons for my files and folders on windows xp is there a site where I can download for free and instantly put them in the folder icon

    Hi Robert,.

    I see that you want additional icons for files and folders in xp. I'll help you with this problem.

    1. What is the brand and model of the computer?

    2. what security software is installed on the computer?

    3. what icons are you looking for?

    I suggest using your favorite search engine and look for all Web sites for free icons. You can download the icons based on the category and the icon you want. If you have downloaded a package of any icon, click on the downloaded zip file. The file will unpack once you click on it and reveal the subfolders as 'PNG' "ICO" or "Readme." Click the folder for the ICO to reveal the different icons in the package. Click on one of the icons to see what it looks like.

    To make a shortcut to a folder and change the look of the shortcut icon:

    1 - Open my computer and locate the folder you want.

    2-click right on the folder and then click create a shortcut. If you are prompted to place the shortcut on the desktop, click Yes.

    3-click right on the shortcut you created, click Properties, and then click change icon.

    4 - Click on the picture of the icon you want the shortcut to use, click OK, and then click OK.

  • How can I change my icons for vista file extensions?

    Recently for some reason any I just noticed that my icons for file extensions under the symbol icon mp3 music just normal to an icon with a video symbol and a note of music in the same icon. It really bothers me because I'm starting to confuse some of my files, because I think the videos are songs and vice versa. Can someone help me change that?

    Try to rebuild your icon cache: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/117229-icon-cache-rebuild.html.  I do not know what will solve the problem in this case because you didn't really explain how the icons changed in the first place, but he frequently works with similar problems.

    If this does not work, try the following:

    Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

    Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files (possibly including the icons - once again depending on how they have been changed).  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files usinghttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.  Try to put all the corrupt files here so that we can see if they can be repaired with good copies of the installation disc (unless there are too many).

    I hope this helps.  Otherwise, after return and tell me what happened and we'll see what we can try.

    Good luck!

  • ContentHandler: can it provide icons for its file types?

    I implemented the ContentHandler/RequestListener/registry setting to manage the types of application attachments (and files), using the 'CHAPIDemo' incoming email as a reference starting point. I'm pretty confident that I've got things that works pretty well. My app responds to the menu item "Open Attachment" and my app jumps into action and is provided with the necessary information. So far so good.

    Is it possible to register an icon for file types that handles my application? For now, the icon is a white box with a question mark. I would rather offer something a bit nicer.

    I hope it's a matter of easy noob who takes 2 lines of code to fix, but I tried a little different searches Google/forum, nothing helps.

    Thanks in advance,

    Alex.

    No, this is not supported.  Content API Manager does not provide the means for an application for registration of an icon for its content type.

    I want to customize my desktop icons to make it easier to read. When I right click, select Change icon, select Browse, I see all the icons I want to use. I downloaded a custom on the internet and saved on my desktop icon, but I don't know how to replace the old icon by this news.

    Tried to drag on the old icon without success.

    Hi Larry,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand from your description, that you cannot change the folder icon with a custom icon uploaded to the Internet.

    I'll be happy to help you. This problem could be caused because you may not have selected the right path or the location of the file that you downloaded or the downloaded file may be damaged or does not work or does not exist.

    I suggest to follow the steps below and we update on the State of the question.

    I recommend you to check or find the location of the file or path where exactly you downloaded and to check whether the file is actually present in the location and also check the file is fully downloaded and work very well.

    a. Subsequently, navigate to the folder that you change the icon and right-click on the folder.

    b. click Properties, click the Customize tab, click change icon, and click Browse.

    c. Select the correct path inside the menu drop-down or enter the correct path manually from the exact location of the downloaded file.

    d. open the file downloaded for the icon, choose the name of the file and click Open to select the file, and check to see if it helps you.

    If the problem persists, then I suggest you to download the file once more on the Internet and save it in a new folder and check the issue.

    To test how Firefox works no 'custom' on your system, could you experience in two minutes?

    Create a new Firefox profile

    It will have your plugins installed by system (for example, Flash), but not of themes, extensions, or other customizations. It should also have databases of completely fresh settings and cool a cache folder.

    Out of Firefox and start in the profile using Start Manager > Search box (or run):

    firefox.exe -P
    

    Any time want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog box.

    When you create a new profile, I recommend using the location suggested default and to avoid data loss, do not re - using any folder existing. Before deleting useless profiles, I suggest you make a backup first in case something go wrong.

    Firefox remembers better in the new profile?
