Windows 10 Change Network File Folder Icon

_{Friday, February 16, 2018 6:13 PM}

This refers to a networked folder to an external HD. 

In previous months, I have had great success in changing folder icons in my networked external HD using the desktop.ini method.

In creating a new folder and following the EXACT same process, now the file folders won't change the icon.

I have attempted multiple suggestions from other forums:

- Create folder on desktop and cut/paste to network drive. Doesn't hold icon.

- Create folder in network drive, create new desktop.ini file. Does't not point to icon.

Here is my .ini file info.  "P" refers to the network drive where icons are kept:

[.ShellClassInfo]
IconResource=P:\Pictures\Icons\ENTERTAINMENT.ico,0
[ViewState]
Mode=
Vid=
FolderType=Generic

I'm unsure if there were any security updates from Microsoft that altered the ability to do this, but I have not been able to find a workable solution.

Assistance is greatly appreciated.  I'm too organized to accept defeat!

Hi,

Under P:\ drive, click View and then Options.

Under View tag, please click Apply to folders to make sure all these view and icons settings were used under this drive:
