Windows 10: Desktop.ini files

Desktop.ini files are used to change the folder icon. I have 2 computers that share a NAS, and the Icon I use for finished projects works fine on the NAS, and sometimes on both computers. The INI are set to hidden and read only. Here is my INI file data "[.ShellClassInfo] IconResource=C:\Windows\System32\SHELL32.dll,27 [ViewState] Mode= Vid= FolderType=Generic". Why does it stop reading the ini or change the Shell32.dll,27 to a standard folder icon SHELL32.dll,4?Where is it located, to tell Windows Explorer to look at the desktop.ini for instructions on how the folders are displayed?Harry

Snippet C#: INI Files

This code is great, i'm going to use this in one of my programmes *Big Grin

is it possible to make a list of all sections in the ini files?

 

Snippet C#: INI Files

GetSections() will return a string[] of section names. If you want the values too, just do a for or for loop to enumerate them. For example:

Code: foreach (string section in ini.GetSections()) { Console.WriteLine("[" + section + "]"); foreach (string key in ini[section].GetKeys()) Console.WriteLine(key + "=" + ini[section][key]); Console.WriteLine(); }[/quote]
