I want to have certain folders show a picture I made my own instead of having to use the properties and specifying an *.ico
file. Is there a way to use a *.jpg
or *.png
or *.gif
or something like that instead? Or a program / script that allows me to more easily tell that folder to use an image I have.
I don't want to manually convert them because that's tedious to do. I'm planning to do this quite often, as a form of recognition when navigating my folder structure. No, search is not an alternative solution...

@TomWijsman: Step 2 is required to tell Windows to actually look for a

file – this is a performance optimization (Old New Thing post). Step 3 is optional – I personally just don't like seeing thedesktop.ini
files scattered everywhere.Thank you for a more accurate answer, as well as a tool that supports multiple file types. :) – Tamara Wijsman – 2012-04-08T20:18:52.020
@StevenPenny:
+s
has some other side effects, so it's only recommended for real system files/folders. – user1686 – 2013-04-29T17:03:34.047@grawity what I am saying is that
attrib +r Music
does not work on my system, onlyattrib +s Music
