Custom icons on folders - on Network shares

Help & Support
1

I made a little Opus button to setup a custom folder icon for selected folders so I can keep track of things I've archived on various machines. The command just makes a desktop.ini file in the folder with:

[.ShellClassInfo]
IconResource=C:\Windows\system32\SHELL32.dll,86

and then I set the 'r' attribute on the folder - This seems to be what Windows does when you Customize a folder.

This works locally and I see my little starred folder wherever I leave the mark. However it doesn't want to show them on folders similarly setup on a network share (another Windows 7 workstation in this case) -- but Explorer does:


Is there any trick or something I'm missing to get this to work in Opus?

Double-check Preferences -> Folders -> Folder Display -> Show generic icons for: is UNchecked.

Ahhhh, thank you :slight_smile: It was set to 'Network and removable drives' :blush:

So many preferences... (but not complaining)
