icons inside a folder

Just for the elucidation of new users/viewers it is the File Names that File Explorer sorts, not the icons. The icons usually show whatever program the files are associated with. Changing the first letter/number of the file name or adding a different letter/number/character at the beginning of the name will change the sorting. I have a lot of files and Folder with the tilde ~ at the beginning to put those at the top of the order in File Explorer because I use them more frequently.

The icon is associated with the filename.ext, though I get you meaning.

True, but by default Windows doesn't show the extensions but that is changeable.

Another nit I want to pick with Microsoft. One of the first things I do is show file extensions. Always have, always will. Add that to the list of annoyances that includes disabling System Restore by default, even though it's not very reliable.

Haha saw this image and I wanted to compare my settings with Ztruker. I got the same exact settings. Ztruker is a smart man.

I've always gone with the philosophy "If you can't see it, you can't screw it up"! What fun is that

I just looked at Windows 7 and didn't see any way to do it there either.

Can you layout the steps to do so on Windows 7? Maybe then we can figure out how to do it (if it's at all possible) on Windows 10.
