How to Change icons in Windows for forever in Smart way - No change again - Can change in Windows 10




Don't lose your customized folders nice view ever - Change icons for ever                                        
                                Most  times when I use my computer I needed to change some of folders icons for a smart look and also its help me to arrange my folders as well. But don't you notice ever there is a problem so bad. When you changed folders icon can you copy your folder to USB Flash driver or can you burn it onto CD or DVD with that icon what you have changed as a your folder icon.  
                      Believe me, if it is a special icon you have stored in your hard drive or somewhere, you will not able to keep that change of your folder. It means you will lose your special folder icon.
                          But using a little trick you can change your Icon smartly, I don't know how many peoples know about this because I learn it by myself. Now you can see how it's possible, it's will be a cool trick because your friends will never able to do this, for make this change we are going to edit a little system file which contain some information about the folder

Ok now lets see how it can do

You can watch the video here





  •  First create a new folder and rename it as you wish(I named it as "Folder With My Icon") also I know that you can't change your folder name without losing that changed icon as well, but don't worry when you set Icon in this way it will not lose
  • Now Paste Icon in to your Folder and change icon using normal way, that mean as you do always right click and select "Customize this folder" now click "change icon"  button in the customize tab, then clicking "brows" button chose that icon which you copied in to your folder
  • Ok it's great, already you have changed your folder icon as you need, here now tries this, copy your folder to another location or change your folder's name then see what happen, oh...it's so bad isn't it ?
  • Don't worry we are going to be a smart.. This is the solution for that Now drop down organize button and chose (09)"Folder and search option" click second tab named (10)"View" change  hidden option and unchecked that three options as you see (11)  in the picture, don't worry about that window witch popup with warning just click "yes" as you see bellow picture  and click ok and close all windows
  
  • Now open your folder look you will see some file named (14) "Desktop.INI" here what we do is, open the file by double clicking on it, by default it's will open in the "Notepad" when you open it will able to find "IconResouree" where have the folder icons path, just keep the name of that icon and erase other as you see in picture, editing this path  what are we doing is we let system to know that icon is inside the that folder, so when you copy folder to any other place it will copy this system file and that icon too, so it will never lose it's icon. Isn't it smart ?
  •  Ok we are done now so lets  finish our job  we must save and close (16) that system file, after make Icon file hidden and read only (17) changing our icons setting as you can see bellow
  • Finely need to "restore default"  that the settings we change in their Folder option in organize tab, again drop down organize button and chose (09)"Folder and search option" click second tab named (10)"View" just click "restore default" button and "apply" and  "ok" then you can close all windows, great you have made your folder icon as you wish and now it can copy, rename or burn into a disk without losing that customizing
