How to Change the Windows 7 Default Folder Icon ?
View 0 Replies View RelatedThis 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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI 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 8 Replies View RelatedToday 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.
