In the desktop Explorer window that contains the main (default) file folders (such as Contacts, Desktop, Documents, My Music, My Pictures, Links, Searches, etc.), the icon for my Documents folder is missing: it only shows as an empty plain manila folder. I had hoped to restore it by right-clicking "Properties" to "Customize" to "Change Icon", but there is no such option. Any suggestions? Thanks.
