Can I change icon for Recent Documents?

Recent Documents (if activated) is located on the Start menu at the top of the Places section. The icon for Recent Documents does not change when Icon Packager applies an IP. If I right click Recent Documents, there is no context menu. I can't locate it in Windows.

Does anybody know where Recent Documents lives or how to change the icon. This feature can be disabled, but I find it useful at times & would rather keep it-- I just want it skinned...

Update to IconPackager version 3.1, the latest release. Ver 3.1 changes the Recent Docs icon in the Start Menu. Not all IconPackages have all the icons. If you updated IconPackager & the Recent Docs icon doesn't change, the IP you applied may not include that particular icon.
Here is an IP that I know has the Recent Docs icon and was recently updated to include all the basic Control Panel as well http://sleeping-dragon.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=5094&SkinID=1328&LibID=2

Kylhwch:

After you have changed the icon to the one you like (Document and Settings - Your username), 1. Disable the function again in the startpanel settings. 2.Then enable it again.
You have to do these steps everytime if you change it to a new icon.

Thanks jebro-- I think I answered the wrong question!

Try this it worked on my laptop and PC. Right click taskbar and click properties, click on start menu tab and click on customize and click on advanced and click on clear list down the botton next to list my most recently opened documents. I don't know why but my recent documents icon changed straight away on laptop and PC. Up until then my recent document icon wasn't skinned. Doing it this way i didn't have to show hidden files or make recent folder not hidden.

thanks everyone - clearing the checkbox and then rechecking it worked.
