    Folder Icons Solution?


    I posted earlier that to keep desktop folders in W11 closed the icon had to be customized. I forgot to add that when I did create a new folder I named it, then changed the icon when it was empty, before adding files. For some reason the folders remain closed, but I still have to do this individually when creating folders. It must be an issue with the default setting. It's a pain but I found the middle closed icon next to the cog in the options display actually worked. If you try this please let me know if it does.

    :)

    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?
