FolderIconMaker

FolderIconMaker is a small Windows utility that turns a folder containing exactly one .ico file into a folder with a custom icon.

Quick Start

1. Download and extract the release.
2. Run FolderIcon\Install.bat once to add the context-menu entry for your user account.
3. Put exactly one .ico file inside the target folder.
4. Right-click the folder and choose FolderIcon, or drag the folder onto FolderIcon.bat.

Behavior

• Folder paths with spaces are supported.
• The script skips folders that contain no .ico files.
• The script skips folders that contain more than one .ico file so it does not overwrite anything silently.
• The only .ico file in the folder is renamed to FolderIcon.ico.
• Desktop.ini is created automatically and Explorer is notified to refresh the icon.

Files

• FolderIcon\FolderIcon.bat applies the icon to one or more folders.
• FolderIcon\Install.bat installs the context-menu entry under HKCU, so admin rights are not required.
• FolderIcon\Uninstall.bat removes the context-menu entry and deletes the installed script copy.
• FolderIcon\Install.reg is a manual-install template if you prefer editing the registry entry yourself.
• FolderIcon\unins.reg is the matching manual uninstall template.

Manual Registry Install

If you want to use Install.reg directly, replace __FOLDERICON_BAT_PATH__ with the full path to FolderIcon.bat before importing it.
