# About me

Hello everyone! Want to know how to use the folder icons I create? Here's how!

If you have Mac, these can be used as PNG just the way they are.

If you have Windows, you'll need to go this site:

converticon.com/

and it'll let you turn them into ICO (icon) format.

Then you can right-click on any folder, choose properties, click on the Customize tab, then Change Icon, Browse, find your icon, choose it, and boom, you're done. :)

I like to put a copy of the icon inside the folder in question, and then once it's set to the folder, I'll right-click on it, go to Properties, and then change it to "hidden".

One thing though, if you move the folder, or in some cases some part of the directory changes, it can "break" it so you'll have to reset the icon to the folder. Also, if it's on an external hard drive, this can be annoying since Windows often changes what drive letter it is, such as H, I, J or whatever.

Here's how to fix that:

Make sure you can see all hidden and system files in Windows. You'll have to go to folder options to make sure it's on.

Go to the folder in question, and find desktop.ini. Open it in notepad. Find the line that reads something like:

IconResource=E:\Anime\Drama\Air\Air TV 07.ico,0

Then, take everything before the icon's name and change it to a dot.

IconResource=.\Air TV 07.ico,0

A dot just means "this directory here", so as long as the icon is inside this folder, the icon will never break to where you have to reset it.

You can also use two dots:
IconResource=..\Air TV 07.ico,0

But that means "go up a level", so if the directory is
E:\Anime\Drama\Air\

It will be looking inside Drama instead of Air for the icon.

No problem, I love LSL.Β  It makes me happy that she takes her grief over losing her mother, and turns it into a joy of sharing what her mom did with her with the two kids.
