I hope you know what I mean, since I can't upload a picture.

If you go to the explorer where all your files and documents are.
Like in the file "my video's" there's in the right corner an icon.

If you have a file full of pictures, there's this poloroid picture in the right corner.

And for music files, there's this music note in the right corner.

Is there any way you can change those?

Those are apart of the template system. You can change them, however for complete customization, I think there's a program that does that... not really sure!!...

I installed WindowBlinds on my laptop, and some skins come with those icons actually.

But now, with the new skin, in my file "my video's" it's showing a DVD-player.
I'd like it to be a TV since I think that fits more, haha (I saw it, it's in the icon file, hehe).

I'll google some more then ^^

OMG! Windows Blinds caused me nothing but trouble! :D Messed my yahoo messenger up good. Took me ages to figure out what was wrong, haha. And that was back when I had XP so I couldn't even blame Vista. :p

I always thought that picture of the music note etc. in the right hand corner (I think that's what you're talking about...?) was pretty lame. It never bothered me enough to make me try and change it though.

^ Yea, WindowBlinds isn't without its bugs. But it is one of the better programs out there. There are other skinning programs .. with modest functionality.
