Hi, Neutron16!
Is there a way to reverse what the script does?
Sorted!
Outdated, I know..but I've downloaded and re-downloaded this .bat file so many times I felt I just had to take a minute and say thanks! Awesome!
Hi vikdaw,
Indeed, my script does not work for shortcuts, but for folders only.
Folders store their information about icons in separate files. My script grabs that file from a model folder and simply copies in to other designated folders.
Shortcuts are files on their own and their content needs to be edited individually to change their icons. My script can not edit other files.
Sorry, I don't know how to achieve what you want on a mass scale.

Neutron16,
Thanks of the resource, I'm not to well verse with computers and was hoping you can make a video on how to do it.
After years (and many, many hours) of manually assigning icons to my folders I finally discovered this thread. To put it into perspective, I have about 25,000 folders I use to meticulously sort all my files. I've probably manually assigned icons to half of them (and used templates for the other half). Thank you so much for taking the time to write and post the script!
You are welcome :)
Hi Cameron,
I am afraid, video is not going to happen. However, I can try to walk you through steps as my post suggests.
Bulk Change All Folder Icons in Single Folder or Folder Type
First you need to create a folder custom_icon on the disk C. To do that, open MyComputer, navigate to disk C. Right click on the empty space inside Explorer window - Create - New - Folder. Than rename that New Folder to custom_icon, hit Enter. Right click on that folder - Properties - Customize tab - Change icon. Select the icon you like.
Download the script from the post, put it in the target folder where you want to make changes.
Right click the script - Run as Administrator.
Viola!
You are welcome. I am glad my script helped you :)
