Windows 10: Icon resets itself to the control panel icon.? Windows 11

Hello,I'm experiencing an issue when trying to change a folder's icon to a custom one. Every time I set a specific icon, it gets reset and displays the Control Panel icon instead. This happens even after applying the changes and refreshing the folder. The icon is this one.Any idea whats happening? No corrupt files btw.

Control Panel Icons in Win10

If you change it to small icons just once then it should retain that setting as its default. The Registry change you mention was suggested by @RickC in Reg file to set CP to Small icons - RickC - TenForumsTutorials And using this shortcut to open Control panel should also do the trick.

How to Customise icons in the Control Panel


Hi Guys,

I have been using CustomiserGod to change the icons in Windows 10, but as we know the programme has its limitations as to which icons it can change. So my question is: Is there another way to change the icons in the control panel or any icons in Windows 10 anywhere?





I found a Windows 8 tutorial that tweaks the registry to change icons, but I'm not sure if it applies to Windows 10 as I couldn't change it after following the steps.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Andrew
