    Batch File Creation Help to change folder icons.


    Hey all. I recently upgraded to Win 10. On my old 7 setup, in my movie collection folder, the movie folder icons were images of the movies renamed to "folder". Everything worked well. Since the upgrade, Windows 10 crops the images named "folder" and it no longer works well. I have decided to replace the technique of using a jpg renamed "folder" to actually using icons of the movies. My issue is that I have hundreds of folders that I would like to apply this to. As of right now, I am moving the .ico into the folder, right clicking and going through he process of changing the icon for that folder. This will take me months. I was wondering if anyone here has an idea for a batch file that would look in the folder for an .ico file and, if there is one, replace the default windows icon for that folder with the one I have moved in there. Really appreciate the help.

    :)

    Batch file creation

    I was able to create a .BAT file using notepad, then double clicking it would start the batch file. Recently when saving the document is still a notepad document and wont run as a batch file. When clicking on the icon of the notepad it has called it a
    .BAT file. ? To further clarify; the icon has not changed to that of a batch file, it stays as a notepad icon. Thanks for any help.
