XYplorer Beta Club

Hi,
I am using Ver.22.30.0200 which I downloaded today. I can no longer change xyplorer icons using:
-Right Click
-Properties
-Customise
-Change Icon
I was able to do this up until recently i.e. the second last update of XY. The current Ver 22.30.0200 does not fix the problem. I can still change icons via Windows explorer.
I wonder if anyone else has had this problem?. Any - of course - what is the solution!
Many thanks,
BEst regards,

Thomas Dolan

You mean the icon of XYplorer.exe?

td2000, if you mean the properties dialog of an item, e.g. on the windows desktop, then I think you must be talking about a shortcut item linking to XYplorer.exe, not the exe file itself. Am I right?

Hi,

Thanks for coming back. I am encountering a number of issues. It may be coincidental that I downloaded XY update and I had a WIN10 update at the same time. I am looking at a WIN10 reinstall. So problems could be my side. I will advise after re-install.
As to the ICONS I wanted to change. I changed these regularly and for many years with XY without any trouble using this simple procedure:
1. Right click on Document Folder to which I want to apply a specific ICON e.g. C:\MyDocuments\SpecialProject - using the procedure below and using XYPlorer.
2. Goto Properties - Customise - Change Icon
3. Up pops the available WIN10 Icons available in SystemRoot%\System32\shell32.dll
4. Select Icon.
5. Click Ok
6. Apply.

When I tried this it no longer worked. But I found I could change the icons in Windows Explorer using the same procedure. So I assumed a problem with XY.
Now I am having trouble with some simple batch files - ones I have used every day for the last 18 months. I cannot locate the problem. Hence the reinstall of win10.
I will let you know the outcome. I hope it is not XY as I have found it to be an excellent productivity tool and most reliable.

Hi,

Sorry for causing confusion. I have outlined what I have done in another email so as to clear up any confusion. I was not referring to the XYPlorer Icon.

Hi,

I did a complete re-install of WIN10 and of course XYPlorer. I happy to report that all is back to working perfectly.! I still don't know the cause.
Now there is a lot of cleaning up!
BTW - I had uninstalled XY whilst trying to ID "the problem" - which meant using MS FIle Explorer - something I have not done for years! Oops! - an experience best forgotten.

Many thanks,
