Windows 10: Change Folder Icon in Windows 10

@ Cliff S:
I couldn't begin to guess how many 1000's of dll's I've searched through!
I think it's written up in XAML somewhere, yet, it's visible to the naked eye so there has to be a resource somewhere for that funky menu!
Beats me! I may trip over it some day! *Wink

 

When someone does then either you, or Shawn*Smile
One way to find it(I don't have the time right now) is look through the HUD red or blue system icon installer. Or ask at Virtual Customs maybe?

 

I followed the instructions at the beginning of this thread, but my "properties" window does not have a "customize" tab. Anyone know what is going on? I have Windows 10 Pro, 64-bit.

 

Hello cgb, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

What folder is this for, and what is it's location?

Folders included in a library will not have a Customize tab.

 

Thanks for your reply. Indeed the folder is a subfolder of a folder in a library. Anything I can do about it? I use "large icons" for view and I don't like that the subfolder icon comes up in Explorer showing a private picture.

 

cgb,

Here's how you can change the icon of a folder included in a library: *Smile

1. Right click on the folder in the library, and click on Open folder location.

2. You can now follow the tutorial to change the icon of the target folder. It will automatically get applied in the library as well.

 

Ooops! Thank you. It makes sense and I feel dumb that I did not try looking at the folder in its original location.

 

You're most welcome cgb. Don't feel dumb though, we all miss stuff. *Smile

 

Is it possible to import the imageres. dll from Windows 7 to Windows 10?

 

No.

 

Someone created one imageres. dll for Windows 7,long time ago, i like the way the icons looks like
When I create a new icon it looks blue, not yellow-default
How could I modify the imageres. dll from Windows 10, actually?
Thanks
