Title: trying to perma change default folder icon
Post by: Saajuk on June 27, 2018, 05:28:15 PM

Every time I start a new folder I want that folder to always have a specific folder icon that i made instead of the standard defaulted one without having to manually go in to properties and change it myself every time. How can I do that?

You can't without changing it in Properties...

It's not that hard...

You can change the IconPath Value in Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\ShellNew in the registry to set the folder's icon for a new folder, I expect.

Its not possible to change folder icon without change its property. Since you want to change folder icon as per you requirement,  you can change it by folderico.com.
