Make Your Own Icon - Quickly
May 31, 2016 08:21:26 #
I just discovered a fast and easy way to make custom icons for folders. Using Irfanview (free), select a picture and crop it to get what you want in it. Press S to save it, and select ICO as the format. That's all there is to it. You have a custom-made icon. Now you can see at a glance what your folders contain.

jerryc41, if this is the site you gave a little time back about photo's, I think, it took me over an hour to get my PC back to normal. I was in all kinds of trouble. Had to back date my PC to get it right. Maybe it's just me.

Afraid so. Sorry about your trouble, but Irfranview has been around for years and years - no problems at all. In downloading it, you may have gotten some junk from the download site. I always get it directly from irfanview.com - with the plug-ins.
