Explorer Folder "custom icon" support

Post by steverance »

Would like XYPlorer to support Explorers ability for to customize default folder icons.

We currently use ...

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Icons]
"3"="C:\\ProgramData\\Tools\\Branding\\ICO\\Folders\\001-Blue.ico"
"4"="C:\\ProgramData\\Tools\\Branding\\ICO\\Folders\\001-Blue.ico"

to override the default "yellow" Explorer icons with our own icon.

3 and 4 are the only ones we use but there other many other that can be used. The codes that I can find by Googling the above Registry key are ...

0 Explorer
1 Explorer Default Document
2 Explorer Default Application
3 Explorer Closed Folder
4 Explorer Open Folder
5 Drive 5.25 inch floppy
6 Drive 3.5 inch floppy
7 Drive Removable Drive
8 Drive Hard Drive
9 Drive Network Drive
10 Drive Network Drive disconnected
11 Drive CD-ROM Drive
12 Drive RAM Drive
13 Global Entire network
15 Explorer Networked Computer
16 Explorer Printer(s)
17 Desktop Network Neighborhood
18 Explorer Workgroup
19 Startmenu Programs
20 Startmenu Recent documents
21 Startmenu Settings
22 Startmenu Find
23 Startmenu Help
24 Startmenu Run
25 Startmenu Suspend
26 Startmenu Docking
27 Startmenu Shutdown
28 Overlay Sharing
29 Overlay Shortcut
31 Desktop Recycle bin empty
32 Desktop Recycle bin full
33 Explorer Dial-up Networking
34 Explorer Desktop
35 Startmenu Settings/Control Panel
36 Startmenu Programs/Program folder
37 Startmenu Settings/Printers
39 Startmenu Settings/Taskbar
40 Explorer Audio CD
42 Explorer Saved search (.fnd)
43 Explorer und Startmenu Favorites
44 Startmenu Log Off
77 UAC (administrator) overlay icon
107 os drive folder icon
179 compressed file/folder overlay icon

Below is an example ... the "cyan" icon is an explicit change to show an alternative icon, the Blue icons do not show up in XYPlorer.
