O.P. Folder Shortcut Icon (Transparent)
If anyone has a transparent shortcut icon, could they please give me a link to it or attach it so I can download it?
Thanks.

Edit: See picture to see what icon I mean:

Well I'm not sure if this will work, but I went into WINDOWS\system32\Shell32.dll and used reshack to find the icon under Icons/254. There might be an easier way to change it though. I have seen people using different icons for that shortcut one, but they have programs to change it. I just want the icon from those packs...

Edit: I found an icon, but I don't know how to swap it with the original one. The icons not very good, so if someone can find another one, that would be good.

Thanks. Now I can remove it, change it and do lots of other things.

"u mean so its not shown? i though u meant so it was kinda see-throughy"-I did mean kinda see-throughy. If someone can attach one, that would be really helpful ;)
Thanks.

You can have it completely gone, half gone, so theres just a small white outline and a Custom one so it can be whatever you want :D
