Custom Icons in Unattended XP.

**ijwcomp** · July 9, 2009

Hi,

Not sure if this is the right place to post this...

I am trying to get some icons to be shown for the folders: My Pictures, My Music, Windows, Program Files, Temp.

The only one that successfully changed icons is the Program Files folder by using desktop.ini and referring it to jw.dll (my own dll!)

This is what I put in desktop.ini

[.ShellClassInfo]
IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\jw.dll
IconIndex=39

And then I place it in the folder in $OEM$ in their respective places.

Also, is it possible to make the file desktop.ini hidden when it is copied to the hard drive?

Thanks.

Yes, you must set the hidden attribute to the file with the following command:

ATTRIB +H %Path to desktop.ini%
