Permanent Custom Folder Icons

As the title suggests, I would like to know if custom folder icons can be made permanent in Windows 10. Like, I have changed a folder icon with my own .ico file placed in drive C. Now I move it to say drive D, or copy it to an external drive or send it
via email, I would like it to show the same folder icon that I changed from the default one to. I have found older posts when searching the internet but they are all for Windows 7 or 8. I would like to know if this can be done in Windows 10.

 

how to set a permanent custom folder icon in windows 10?

in earlier version of windows, i can set the custom folder icon to permanent by editing the "desktop.ini" file, with simply erase some part of the icon file address into
iconresource="icon name".ico,0. it works in win 7, 8, and 8.1. now i use windows 10, i can apply a custom folder icon, but it will revert to default folder icon if i copy or move the folder to another place. i don't like this, you can say, i HATE this
side of windows 10. tell me! how to make it permanent?

 

Weird desktop icon behaviour on Steam

Yes, they are; however, when I right click on the "blue sphere" icon to change it and browse to the corresponding folder inside the Steam folder, it lets me go through all the steps, but the blue sphere remains. *Confused
