Desktop.ini

[DaProgrammer]

i created a file named Desktop.ini inside a folder and wrote there

[.ShellClassInfo]
IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll
IconIndex=126

the folders icon should change but it wont, what am i doing wrong ?

p.s. if i choose an icon from customize it writes the same in Desktop.ini, word for word !

I *think* you need to set Desktop.ini to have the Hidden and System attributes, and you need to set the folder to have System attribute as well. This can be done using attrib from the DOS prompt.

If it is the attributes thing:

Start > Run > cmd.exe

Then navigate to the folder containing desktop.ini

attrib +s +h desktop.ini

And it should change the attributes for you.

tnx man, what i was missing is the folder attrib

FileSetAttrib($Folder, "+S")

now it works fine
