    Adding file and folder icons to Windows Explorer


    Hi folks,


    I'd love to add more customized icons to those associated by Windows File Explorer / Windows Explorer, so that I can have them express what I want and need. But they all seem to be contained within the Shell.dll file, which I don't think makes it a drag-and-drop exercise to add or replace some icons.


    Any ideas? Or, am I stuck with these icons?


    Thanks!

    :)

    Adding file and folder icons to Windows Explorer

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
