Hi phred, I get the same error message when I don't have a semi colon,";" after "appicon", but it works when it's there.
I've had the semicolon there each and every time I've tried.
Note that "::appicon;" works - thanks to autocart for point this out.
Hi again phred, the reason for the above is that you probably do not have this tweak set to 1. You may want to set the tweak so you don't have to use "::" to use a script in the address bar.
Code: Select all
; Tweak: set to 1 to detect script in AB without ::
ScriptSmartDetect=1

So, after spending more time on this.
It turns out that the Windows icon cache is just really persistent.
One has to kill
all explorer.exe instances and then delete the cache files from "%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer".
I've tried all the tricks mentioned in the thread multiple times with no luck. I can delete the cache files and I can kill Explorer in the task manager, but I can't delete them after killing Explorer. Can you elaborate on how you accomplished that. Did you use Windows safe mode or some other process?

Does anyone know if there's a way to use the old XY icon on the tabs in web browsers like Chrome and Edge? I know they are stored on the drive, but can they be changed?

Perfect. Thanks for the follow-up, klownboy. That took care of the need for ::

This worked for me, thank you!

I used LockHunter to kill remaining open handles - this also required closing task manager. I used a command prompt to do "rd explorer /s" from the above working directory.

I down loaded LockHunter and did the above, but the new icon is still there. It's being persistent.

On a second machine I also spend almost a hour trying to make it work without any luck. I ended up adjusting the taskbar pin shortcut manually to change the icon there.
Code: Select all
%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar

I'm kinda surprised the way to change app icon was made through whole new script command.. Why not not simply make a rule, that whatever icon in Icons folder has name "XY.ico" - that will be taken as app icon everywhere?(just curious why not this simple method)

Code: Select all
% App Icon: Now the 20x20 and 24x24 versions are also front-only (like the 16x16)
instead of the whole box. So the title bar icons in 125% and 150% now all look like
the 16x16 one in 100%.
Thanks.

Sorry for asking again - you mean scripting allows more control options, or it's about controlling switch allows only xy-native icons?

Icon is brand. I cannot let people use any random icons that easily.
