    User's folders icons


    Hi! I've recently bought a new laptop and done a fresh W11 install. I've noticed every user's folder has a custom icon ex. links folder has a chain on it, but some of the same folders, on my other computer which was updated from W10 to W11, has genreric folder icon. How do I set the right icons? I've already tried to go into properties > customization > select file, but i've not found any of the icons.Thank you

    :)

    How to make a Uber Hidden Folder

    • Make a new folder.
    • Change the icon to a blank icon. No icon should appear
    • Rename the folder to a blank by pressing "alt + 255." (NOTE: Press 255 on the numpad) No text should appear.
    • Your done! It is uber hidden. *Big Grin User's folders icons :D

    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?
