Load XY with Alternate Icon

[TestMeister]

Periodically I need to load XY as Admin and when I do, I would like to have it use a different icon for confirmation. I understand the XYplorer.ini allows specification of the icon but I would not otherwise need a different ini and would like to avoid duplicating it.

Is there an undocumented launching switch that would specify the program icon on the fly or perhaps another method?

No, there is a documented scripting command though, that you can run at launch, you should try looking it up. SC appicon.

Thanks, I should have checked the scripts

Here is my syntax
/script=::appicon "ABA";

It always gives me a popup selection choice. Is it possible to just have it use the specified icon?
Also, it modifies the IconFile in the Xy ini so it requires me to specify appicon for non-admin launches.

You're missing proper quoting for the content of the script^^

Code: Select all

E.g.:
/script="::appicon 'ABA';"
/script='::appicon "ABA";'

Yep, I've been getting away without using the encapsulating double quotes and the now is first time I needed to nest quotes so it fell over.
It now works as expected, thanks!

There are other alternatives, such as you could launch your admin session as read only, or set a CEA on exit event to always set the default icon on exit.
