    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)
