Windows 10的“开始”菜单是否支持带有自定义图标的文件夹？

Question

I have my c# application where i create desktop.ini inside each folder to assign a custom icon to my folder. It works fine in windows 7.But in windows 10,it does not work.If I go to start menu path(C:\\Users\\user1\\AppData\\Roaming\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs),there I am able to see the folder with custom icon,but in start menu view the folder always comes with default folder icon.

Folder "123" at the start menu path comes with the custom icon

Folder "123 at start menu comes with default folder icon"

Please suggest if there is any way to do this.

Answer 1

You could assign a folder.jpg to the custom folder and set its attributes to system and hidden.

You can also create a shortcut to the folder and assign a custom icon to that.

I know the second option works with the windows UI.

Right-Click -New -Shortcut -Enter Folder Address -Enter Name -Save

Then Right-Click the Shortcut -Properties -Change Icon -Choose Icon and Save

Then Right-Click Shortcut -Add to start

So theoretically you should be able to create the folder, create a shortcut and assign the icon to that using the .ini file or you can at least take a look at what is different in comparing your application output and a shortcut made through the UI. The start menu may have its own .ini file as well.
