    Wherever the default Documents icon in Vista is supposed to show (the transparent green/blue folder with files inside) it just shows the regular tan open folder icon. It's not that big of a deal, just aesthetically annoying. Anyone know how to fix it?

    Try Start>Control Panel>Personalization and Change Desktop Icons in the Tasks pane. (This is in Classic View) Then select your Documents folder and click on Restore Default. If that doesn't fix it, then click on Choose Icon, and manually select the correct icon. If you can't find it, type in "imageres.dll" (without quotes) and it should be in there. Hope this helps.
