  1. File types icons for Windows Explorer as in VS Code


    Is there something similar to VS Code's icons vscode icons, seti icons, Material UI icons to install for Windows Explorer?Essentially, I want icons on Windows Explorer to depict file types e.g., a .js file, a .py file, etc. so that it would be visually easier to glance through folders.Here's an example image for how it looks on VS Code:

    Try rebuilding the Windows icon cache:
    • Close all explorer/folder windows that are currently open;
    • Run/Open a new Console window as Administrator;
    • Launch "Task Manager" using CTRL+SHIFT+ESC, or by running taskmgr.exe;
    • In the Process tab, right-click on the explorer.exe process and select End Process.
    • In the Command Prompt window, type the commands one by one and press ENTER after each command:
      Code: CD /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local ATTRIB -H IconCache.db DEL IconCache.db EXIT[/quote]
    • Close the Console;
    • In Task Manager, click File, select New Task (Run…), type explorer.exe, and click OK.
    • Close the Task Manager;

    Cannot find Desktop Icon in File Explorer

    Now that is interesting. If I do what you suggest, File Explorer Address bar changes to C:\Users\username\documents and the missing ICONS are there. But there is still not a "Desktop" folder.

    Is this a step in the right direction?
