Mike - I believe you're right, but it's kind of odd. If I give it the
full path to an image file (ico, png, etc) it works as long as I leave
the image where it is. Move it and it breaks. The work around seems to
be to leave the image file at the root level of the folder which is
displaying it. I can then rename the folder and move it without losing
the icon.

OK Mark - I've experimented a little doing this:
Made a text file named Desktop.ini
Saved the following content in it:
[.ShellClassInfo]
IconFile=MyIcon.ico
IconIndex=0
InfoTip=Some sensible information.
Created a folder on the Windows desktop named Test
Moved both the file and a .ico file named MyIcon into the folder
This doesn't change the appearance of the folder, although it does
change the appearance of the text file. It puts a little gear on it.
Am I missing something?

Ray,
It is a text file. I gave you an example of the text. LiveCode can
create such text files. The file should be saved inside the folder of
which you want to change the icon.

Mark - thanks for these tips but I'm afraid I'm not quite following
you.
Should the text file have any text in it? Which folder should I save it
in? And finally, how do I set the settings you've outlined from within
Livecode? I guess these things are delving into an area of Livecode
I've never used.
Thanks,
Ray

Hi Ray,
Make a text file with Notepad. Save it in the folder as Desktop.ini.
Use the following settings:
[.ShellClassInfo]
IconFile=Folder.ico
IconIndex=0
InfoTip=Some sensible information.

Does anybody know of a way, from within Livecode, to create a folder
and give it it's own custom display on the desktop? I'd imagine this
would be done with an .ico file. I'd like to do this for both Mac
and Windows.
I've looked through the RunRev store and haven't found any extensions
which do this. Maybe through a command-line somebody has written?
