    You can download 'resource hacker' and use it to change or replace the images in that direct-link library as you want.

    Why should you open a dll with notepad? :g:

    Set your icon as usual, THEN adjust the path opening desktop.ini with notepad

    P.S. Perhaps you can open a dll with notepad, it's not hung, it's just deadly slow with large files, just wait.

    IT DOSE WORK !

    1- The icon must be inside the folder. (MUST BE INSIDE GOT IT)
    so moving the folder will carry the icon with it. AMEN !
    2- Now you figure it out.

    Yeah...yeah.. the icon is already inside the folder. No problem about that. But the customization only works with moving, not copying. (GOT IT)

    Hi cdavisdeco, all my test was done on my main OS.
