Re: User Folder Icons
The Music folder gets its special icon via the 'desktop.ini' file. It's a
simple text file with a .ini extension. It is normally flagged as 'Hidden'
and 'System'. If it doesn't exist in the folder, create it in notepad.
It's contents should be:
---------------------
[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21790
InfoTip=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-12689
IconResource=%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll,-108
IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll
IconIndex=-237
[LocalizedFileNames]
Sample Music.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21806
-------------------
In order for Explorer to process the contents of a 'desktop.ini' file, the
folder must have its 'Read-Only' attribute set. Open a command prompt
window to the parent folder (C:\Users\<UserName>) and type the following
command:
attrib +r muziek
