Post Folder icons

Hi,

I've got this problem: on my flash drive I've some folder with not the default icons. I wanted to change some other folders' icons but than I came across with the problem.

Properly working folder icon:


And it's desktop.ini file:
Code:
[.ShellClassInfo]
InfoTip=Contains music and other audio files.
IconFile=..\Pictures\icon\music.ico
IconIndex=0
And here's the wrong folder. It's folder the same as the [Music]'s:


The desktop.ini:

Code:
[.ShellClassInfo]
InfoTip=Contains books.
IconFile=..\Pictures\icon\books.ico
IconIndex=0
I hope somebody could help me. Thanks: Arcsi

I have an IBM ThinkPad T42 with Microsoft Windows XP SP3. The flash drive is a Kingston DataTraveler 2.0 USB Device.
