keytotime Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Does anybody know how I can automatically import my custom icons for folders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucketbuster Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 You need to put the icon into the desired folder. And edit the desktop.ini.This is what the desktop.ini from My Virtual Machines-folder looks like:[.ShellClassInfo]IconFile="vm_folder.ico"IconIndex=0InfoTip=Contains VMware virtual machine files.ConfirmFileOp=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raskren Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 There's no way to do it "automatically" that I know of. The best way IMO is to hack shell32.dll or whatever icon library you're using. Re-checksum shell32.dll, compress it, and then add it to your unattended CD.Microangelo or Reshacker are some tools to use for editing libraries.

Also, if you just want the icon to change, you only need IconFile and IconIndex.@SiMoNsAyS: I didn't know that the folder had to have the system attribute, but you're right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiMoNsAyS Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 (edited) it is too easy. you need a desktop.ini file with the content @bucketbuster has pointed.then the folder need to have the system attribute, you can do it by running a cmd "attrib +s C:\yourfolder" and to place the ini files you can make a rar-sfx edit: @Tsunami i didn't too until i saw a topic a few time ago Edited December 14, 2004 by SiMoNsAyS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
