Folderico

[SirSmiley]

weird.

can answer Zacks question. Drives have to be changed at the registry level & this doesn't appear to be setup in this nice little app...see virtual plastic if you want more info. It's inconsistent in icotweaker too. Had been working on a little script to allow this to be done by dropping the icon on it.

thanks SirSmiley

i already checked and it has both the icon and the ini file but the icon still looks like a generic file document.

Try reapply icon for folder.

Then, if it will not help, try open 'shedkofolderico3_******ico' from this folder with any icon editor and if this file is corrupted, then please send to me ICL-theme.

If ico-file is not corrupted, then check than desktop.ini have at least following lines

[.ShellClassInfo]

IconFile=ShedkoFolderico3_*****.ico (name of icon)

IconIndex=0

ConfirmFileOp=0

If and with this file OK most likely the problem consists in a cache of icons, i.e. it is necessary to reset it.

And still, whether the folder has attributes Read-only + System ?

LeVel is your app going to change shell icons in the future? For example the icons in "shell32.dll".

Thank you for the incredibly fast response, although reshacker does the trick with shell icons I wanted a better alternative and in this case it would be your app. If you have a minute or so to spare might telling me why it isn't absolutely safe? I would really appreciate it. I'm trying out the OSX'ed version right now.

Those who possesses a sufficient set of knowledge uses ResHacker. And who does not know that such ResHaker, my personal opinion, - they and do not need to change icons in shell32.dll, to use IconPackager from StarDock is better or IconTweaker is easier and more safely

And if, something will go not so those who applied icons by help of ResHaker will know what to do. But those who for replacement of icon-resources would use Future-Folderico - would not know what to do.
