Thank you :)
Thanks you 😃
The "Change Icon" button isn't appearing in the Customization tab for me.
To clarify, this is the Properties Window for my OneDrive Destination Folder, located at "C:\Users\David\OneDrive"
I suspect this is being prevented by something deeper in OneDrive's Windows 10 integration. Can someone help me figure out what's preventing this and find a workaround?
The OneDrive folder contains a hidden "desktop.ini" file that needs to be edited to pick up the newer OneDrive folder icon from "imageres.dll".
Enable "Hidden items" and untick "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" in Windows Explorer and open the OneDrive folder.
Open "desktop.ini" and change "IconResource" to read:
Code:IconResource=%SystemRoot%\System32\imageres.dll,217
Save the changes and close the file. You might need to rebuild the icon cache to see the updated icon, but a restart should probably do it.
I was also inspired by David's initial post to create my own Podcasts folder icon using the microphone icon from the Windows 10 Device Manager:
Download: Podcasts folder.ico
Hello, I'm back 3 years later to share my latest version of the podcast icon, haha.
To modify it you'll want to use this desktop.ini file edit tutorial: Why Are There Two Desktop.ini Files On My Desktop What Do They Do? | Digital Citizen
Enjoy!
podcasts.ico
Here are some more icons I've made since then!
I've attached the Games, Podcasts, and Stream folder icons for download if you'd like. They scale down well with the other default shell folder icons.
