    Cannot Change Folder Icon to a .png Image...


    HelloI'd like to change a regular folder icon to my own .png image. I have followed the steps e.g. click on customise, choose file, choose my .png image, click apply and OK, but nothing happens but, I can change the icon with a .ico file by clicking on the change icon button and choosing a new system icon. Am I doing something wrong e.g., should the image be stored in a systems 32 folder or should I save it in a special format?Regards,Gra

    :)

    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?
