    Is there a way to change a bunch of folders' icons to the first picture inside them?


    I'm well aware that I can right click on a folder, go to customize and manually change the icon, but I have waaay to many folders that I want to do this to, which I will have to process one by one. I have looked for a utility, system settings, or anything that could do this but I couldn't find anything that automates this process. Does anyone know if something of this sort exists ?
