Does anyone know where the sidebar icon for Documents resides (the one that looks like a couple pages of paper)? I accidentally replaced it with a folder icon, and I'd like the default icon back. Thanks.

Go to Finder->Preferences->Sidebar and turn off and on again "Documents". That will possibly restore the icon.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't work. Anyone know where the actual image file for the icon is located in the Library?

You might have changed the icon of your Documents folder itself. Go to your home folder and highlight the Documents folder. Hit Command-I to see its info, and click on the icon you see at the top-left of the window. Press Delete to revert to the default icon.

What should I use to open CoreTypes.bundle? Thanks so much for the help, guys.

Edit: Nevermind... I got irritated and just started clicking sh*t, and somehow I changed it. Don't ask me how... It's slightly disconcerting how often anger helps me fix my problems.
