Its me...again =D

Anyways. I was using Candy bar and all of my icons that I set to change in candy bar, change but my Documents folder stays the same. This is the weird part though.

I have no idea where to hide/unhide files?

What main menu are you talking about?

and which icon files do you want me to delete?

Field Note #1 @eMatoS 2009-01-24

Try to show hidden files and delete the icon files, then try to change it again.

You can use mainmenu to hide/unhide files.

Field Note #2 @eMatoS 2009-01-25

Mainmenu is a free program with many features like permission repair, force empty trash and so on. Once you show hidden files you'll see inside the folder a couple of files named icon, thoes are the files I'm talking about.
