Custom made folders

[science]

The Simpsons .ico work well on my Vista PC.

Are there any others for other shows?

Also, can I make the folder name invisible?

EDIT: I use http://www.convertico.com/ to convert PNG files to ICO

I can upload you some I didn't make, and the guy in the first post didn't make, I got them off *snip. They are in the same style as The Simpsons one though. I'm just saying this because I can't take the credit. They'll be up in a sec

I used another method to change the folder icons by right-clicking>properties>customize>change icon

This is okay for "Thumbnail" view only, I believe.

actually it works for all the views except when in thumbnail view, if there are any images in the folder it will show thumbnails of the images instead of the custom folder icon

Oh, my bad. I was reading the middle option, and not the bottom!

What about the .nds files ?
How do I change the icons ?
I can't use the same method for files

Oh that. Yeah, that's a different method.

Open Control Panel
Open Folder Options
Click on the File Types tab

You'll probably have to add .nds so click on the "new" button.

Type in NDS and click OK.

Scroll down to find NDS and highlight it by clicking on it
Click on the Advanced button
Click on the Change Icon... button
Choose and icon and then click OK
Click OK again to close that window
Click Close to close the Folder Options window

PS: Nice find on the right-clicking>properties>customize>change icon. MUCH easier. That also creates a desktop.ini for you.

Thank you, too, Tyuno! Now I don't have to jump through hoops (metaphorically speaking, of course) to change a folder icon in Windows XP
