Unable To Change Folder Icon
May 25, 2012I am unable to change my folder icons.
I right click on the FOLDER > PROPERTIES > CUSTOMIZE and CHANGE ICON but whatever picture i choose the folder icon doesn't change.
I've tried renaming the picture to .ico but that doesn't help either. I put the picture into another new folder by itself but that doesn't help either.
I get the error message : "The file contains no icons"
Mass Change Folder Icon?
Jun 28, 2012This is not a default icon inquirey Neutron16 for his/her tutorial on mass icon change using a predefined folder with custom icon as source. Closest thing to what I want yet, but not quite there yet.I want to be able to write a bat, script, exe (visual basic) to change the icons by icon name. i.e. File named x.avi, code looks in icon directory for icon named x.ico, file named y.avi, code looks in icon directory for icon named y.ico, etc.What I've found so far is that once a folder has had a custom icon, I can change the desktop.ini and the folder icon will change as well. If I restore the folder icon (custom properties dialog) or if the folder has never had a custom icon, changing the desktop.ini file never changes the folder icon, even after closing and reopening the windows explorer.This implies there is another folder property which must be set.I'm not strong in bat file command but I understand that xcopy copies everything including all properties. This is why Neutron16's bat works and my code does not.

Jul 27, 2012I use LibraryIconChanger for my libraries (videos, documents, music, and so on), but I can't change the 'Libraries' folder with it. The libraries folder is the one you right click to add a new library, just to avoid any confusion (though I'm sure you got that). I can't use Folderico on it because for some reason it won't allow it.

Sep 11, 2010I currently have two Windows 7 Home Premium computers on a small home network, and I would like to be able to change the folder icon of one computer from the other computer on the network. Normally, if I go into properties of a folder, I am able to change the icon. But I noticed that this option disappears for folders in shared drives on the network.
I noticed this phenomenon also occurs in previous versions of Windows as well.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAny Way To Change Default Icon Size?
Dec 17, 2011I've been trying to find a way to change the default icon size in Windows 7. My machine defaults to 'small' icon size, but I prefer the 'large' one, in just about every case. Instead of needing to manually change the size for each individual folder, is there a way I can set 'large' to be the default for all folders? I couldn't find anything in the control panel and haven't been able to find anything about setting a default size yet.

View 0 Replies View RelatedWindows Folder Icon Changing On Rename
Jun 29, 2012I am having very bizarre behavior with the folder icon changing when I rename a folder. On my C: drive, I have a folder named mydata. I created it using Google Drive, and renamed it to mydata. The folder at first showed the Google Drive triangle icon, and now shows the recycling arrows on folder icon, showing it needs updating. So far, so good.
I now created a separate folder on my C: drive named "mydata backup". Upon creation of the folder, it gets the google drive icon (recycling arrows). If I create a folder with any other name, it gets the standard folder icon. If I rename a folder to "mydata anything", it immediately takes on the google drive icon! If I rename it to "xmydata anything", it goes back to the normal folder icon!
I doubt that Google Drive is changing the icon, since in theory it doesn't know about a new folder or a folder rename outside of the folder it controls, so I assume the icon change comes from Windows 7 itself. Has anyone seen anything like this? If not, I will go to the Google Drive people and see if they have an answer.

Jul 23, 2011Today i noticed that ALL of my folders on my computer running windows 7 home premium have a weird icon. I tried to install styleXP on my computer and said that it didn't work on windows 7 so I uninstalled it and I think it might have removed the icons or something? Some have the default white window icon, some have a External Disc (USB or HD) icon. I have done the IconCache thing but it didn't do anything. Also, some icons in my computer are missing. My desktop icon in my computer has dissapered. My folder icons in start menu, under all programs have also been replaced with the white icon.

May 5, 2009I am trying to figure how to remove the lock icon over some of my folders. It appear if I share one of my folder with the Homegroup and unshare it later. I think it is because when I share it with my homegroup, the Everyone/Cooperation (I'm not sure to use the good word, I'm using the french version) option disapear and I can't add it anymore.By default :Once shared and unshared : (can't add Everyone - Cooperation, which cause I presume the lock on the folder)My only option is to share it again with the Homegroup or with Everyone with Read instead of Cooperation. I don't want this folder to be shared anymore.

Apr 8, 2012I used IconPackager to change icon on my computer. It works great but I have a problem with folder thumbnails. When normal folders icons are simple and black the folder preview use the orange Windows 7 default icon. It looks silly.I know that I can disable the folder thumbnails. I can do it but then also images thumbnails are disabled and I don't want that. I need the images thumbnails.So my questions are:1) How to disable folder thumbnail without disabling images thumbnails?...or...2) How to change the folder thumbnail icon used to generate previews?
