    Folder Icons


    Hello, I would like to change the icons of some folders in the quick access panel. After updating to windows 10, all of my custom icons I had in windows 7 were gone. The option to change icon is not present. I have tried many methods, including...


    1. Making a shortcut of the folder, and changing the icon of the shortcut which worked but I can't pin the shortcut to the quick access panel.

    2. I've tried to find the location of these folders in Regedit and create a new DefaultIcon key. I really don't know what I'm doing in regedit


    There are a couple folders that I can change, like the scanned documents folder, but the ones I have circled I can not. The only thing is, These are networked folders, and can be accessed from any computer in the building. I'm not sure if that makes a difference?

    I am at a loss. This may be a small issue, but the custom icons really helped me navigate my folders quicker and easier. If anyone knows what I could do I would Greatly appreciate it. Thanks!


    P.S. If there is no solution, I would at least like to know why. Why can't I customize my folders in windows 10, but I could in 7?

    How to make a Uber Hidden Folder

    • Make a new folder.
    • Change the icon to a blank icon. No icon should appear
    • Rename the folder to a blank by pressing "alt + 255." (NOTE: Press 255 on the numpad) No text should appear.
    • Your done! It is uber hidden. *Big Grin Folder Icons :D

    Change Folder Icon in Windows 10


    I just acquired a new laptop running Windows 10 and am trying to change the icons of the folders in the StartUp "Program" folder so that they would stand out a little better. I used my admin account and followed all the steps listed above, but when I clicked on "Apply", nothing happened. The same basic windows folder icon remained attached to the folder. I also tried to go into Properties and capitalize some of the folder names, but that didn't work either. Looks like something is protecting them, but I cannot figure out what it is much less how to get around this blockage, Any suggestions?

  10. why did you change the folder icons to look like document icons?

    in Windows 10 Gaming
    why did you change the folder icons to look like document icons?: I can no longer quickly see the folder tree with everything looking like a document file. This is very inefficient and frustrating. Plus when I try to change the icon to the old filter - it does not change in details. This is unacceptable! We the paying customers should have...
