Can XYP show folder icons or not
Can XYP show folder icons or not?
I'm looking for the default standard MS icons as they display in the MS File Explorer
and any other application that I have. (The custom icon "process" in XYP is not for me)
Is there a script that one can run or some sort of obscure setting to achieve this?
Why is this not the default right now? It must have taken some effort to unprogram - does anybody know why?

PS.
I do like the BOLD favorites and the color filters very mouch.

No need to create yet another thread on the topic.

You're telling XY to use generic icons for all controls by changing these settings from their defaults (shown here):
I recommend you change your configuration to only use generic icons for network locations by checking But only in network locations.

Great - it all works with everything under icons checked! THANKS GUYS -so glad I asked!
What does the first item "Draw selected list items dimmed" actually do and why would I want that???
I see NO difference either on or off??? Even when XY is restarted.
THANKS AGAIN

That setting only applies to the list pane (not the tree) and slightly dims the selected item's icons..
It's not very prominent but you should see a difference between these two:

Thanks for the great efforts and my $70 to 'the cause' was not wasted.
