Customized Folder Icons to work

[CookieMonster]

version 12.80

Edit: Could it be because my icon files are 300K They include the three different sizes ?

I have a few favorite icons, that won't load.

For example; one favorite icon I setup is suppose to load up a program and assign an icon to a extension. I set it up as such;

*.<ext>\>C:\<file path of program>\program.exe
(loads the icon, doesn't load the program when I visit the file with the extension and double click the file to open in the specified program)

Second one
Name of Folder\>favorite_icon.ico
(spaces between the folder name, the favorite icon doesn't load, tried it three or four times, no progress)

[xman]

The first one has a backslash at the end, remove it:

Code: Select all

*.<ext>>C:\<file path of program>\program.exe

Also, I might be misunderstanding you, but this feature is not designed to launch anything, just to assign an icon (even if you assign an exe file, in which case it will just use its icon, but not execute it). There is a different feature for that - Portable File Associations.

----
The second one works fine for me. Perhaps try with a different icon and path (preferably one without special characters in it). Also make sure there are no quotes around the path on the left.

another-folder\>acme_icon.ico
this is folder\>profile_icon.ico

Both, the icon doesn't load ?
One folder has a dash in the folder name, the other, spaces ?

Why after assigning an icon, does XY lock up for up to 7 minutes ?

[xman]

Then perhaps the icon file is not present in <xyicons> directory. That's the only thing I can think of.

As for the other issue, I suggest you report it as a bug.
