Solved Permanent Custom Folder Icon?

[MourningStar]

How (if possible) can I assign a custom icon to a folder so that it will remain that folder's icon no matter where on the computer I move it to, even if I copy it to another drive (ext., flash, cd, etc.) or computer.

thnx - and sorry if addressed elsewhere, pleas provide link.

Make a new folder on the desktop:

Open notepad and copy and paste this:

[.ShellClassInfo]
ConfirmFileOp=0
IconFile=Folder.ico
IconIndex=0

Save as desktop.ini inside the folder you are changing(look at screenshot)



Put a icon in the folder and name it:

Folder.ico




Then open Command Prompt and type:

attrib +s C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\Desktop\FOLDER YOU ARE CHANGING
Press enter
Close Command Prompt

This only works if you move and paste the folder not if you copy and paste.

I needed to refresh my thumb drive for it to show.
