Hi,
I was looking for a way to set custom folder icons in shares. I'm currently
setting up a network based on samba and there are several people that used
custom icons of folders in their shares. Since all shares have been moved to
samba server custom icons have disapeared.
I know that in MS windows the way to set up custom icons is to change it via
right-click -> properties -> and change there an icon of the folder. Than
in this folder apears a new hidden file desktop.ini, which has a path to
shell32.dll and number of chosen icon. But if user don't change icon via
right click -> properties and jus copy desktop.ini into antoher folder,
folder icon doesn't change. Also, if you copy folder witha already changes
icon you get changed icon folder in the place you copied to. But if I copy it to
a samba share i get default icon for a folder, despite the fact, that it was
changed. also if i copy shell32.dll to a folder i want change icon in, and than
change the path to local file in desktop.ini it doesn't work in samba share,
but it does in windows. I can also put an *.ico file in folder and give a path
to it in dektop.ini and it also work in windows, but it doesn't in samba
share.
I've also noticed that dekstop.ini is hidden in windows but it isn't
hidden in samba share the same way which is of course because of filesystem
difference, but i don't think it is relevant.
My question is, am i doing somethign wrong ? And if not is there a way to change
icons of folders to custom choosen, and how to achieve that ?
Thanks for quick replay.
Regards
Jabol
