Title: Tip - How to use a folder specific icon
Post by: Patrice Terrier on May 11, 2007, 04:31:40 PM
 
Using Windows Explorer you can setup the icon matching a specific folder.

This is made possible by using a desktop.ini ini file, and here is how to do it for your own application:


Code Select
[.ShellClassInfo]
ConfirmFileOp=0
NoSharing=1
IconFile=MyIcon.ico
IconIndex=0
InfoTip=My dedicated folder.

Quote2 "MyIcon.ico" must be located in the same folder than the desktop.ini file

Not quite true.  As long as the full name is specified the icon can even reside in a .icl icon library file or a dll.  In addition the System attribute needs to be set on.

What about a 2nd folder?

On MS-Windows-NT 2000/XP/Vista you can set the Icon for a specific Folder,
simply by clicking the right Mousebutton over the Foldericon and selecting
the Proberty for the Folder in the Contextmenu of MS-Windows.
There you can select an Icon you like..
The System creates exactly the same Desktop.ini and set the Icon
you have selected!
