    Can you track down a folder's current icon?


    I let Windows update and when it came back, my custom icon pack had been partially reset. Only some of the folders kept their custom icons. I have no clue what the pack was called or where it is on any of my drives. How can I reverse search it in windows and find where I stored them?

    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?
