Solve : Batch file to change folder icon in Windows 10?

Answer»

Hey all. Looking for help with a the creation of a Batch file.  I have MULTIPLE (100's) of FOLDERS that i have placed a *.ICO (each one is different) file that I would like to use as the folder icon.  I would like to create a Batch file to put into the folder and, when double clicked, would change the icon for that folder to the one I placed in the folder. Any and all advice would be appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.Sorry, I do not have a neat answer.

The above uses Power shell instead of PURE batch. 
 
EDIT: The program is not trivial, it requires additional effort to make it do what your want. I would guess that pure batch would not be any better. Maybe I am wrong about that.  Hi 
You can take a look at this batch script : Customize_Icon_Folder.bat Quote from: Geek-9pm on March 01, 2020, 11:47:16 AM

Looks like I have to rename the Icon to "Folder Icon".  Not a biggie but I was hoping for something a bit different where I didn't have to start renaming files.  Much obliged, though. Quote from: Hackoo on March 02, 2020, 04:33:35 PM

Tried the Batch File a few times with new Icons and the Batch will copy the icon to the folder but won't create a DESKTOP Configuration Setting File to implement the Icon.  The script ran but no icon showed up.  Very much appreciate the response though.
