That will work, but it's a really roundabout way of doing it. If you want to restore the original icon, simply click the icon in the get info box and press your "delete" key. Or choose "cut" from the "Edit" menu.
Hmmm. Doesn't work. I did exactly what you told me to do, but instead of changing back to the original icon, it changed to the AppleWorks icon. I tried this for several different icons and they ALL defaulted back to the AppleWorks icon, not the plain folder icon. Also, I found that went I tried to change it back and it defaulted to the AppleWorks icon, I could not restore it with my custom icon. I had to drag the contents of each folder (now AppleWorks icons) to my desktop, trash the AppleWorks icon folder (now empty), make a new folder in the Finder window and then copy and paste (via Get Info) the custom icon back into the new icon, then drag the contents of the folder from the desktop back into the.............
Holy crap! I just answered my own question! LOL
Jeez! All I have to do is make a NEW folder in the Finder and it WILL be a plain folder icon! Then I can just copy and paste and restore the original folder icons from the new folder icon!
OK, never mind. LOL
(But I'm still not sure why all my icons are defaulting to the AppleWorks icon--and not whatever their original icon was--when I press delete in the Get Info window.)
