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

Answer» <html><body><p>Hey all. Looking for help with a the creation of a Batch file.  I have <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/multiple-1105557" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MULTIPLE">MULTIPLE</a> (100's) of <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/folders-994110" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FOLDERS">FOLDERS</a> that i have placed a *.<a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/ico-496390" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ICO">ICO</a> (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.<br/><br/>Many thanks in advance.Sorry, I do not have a neat answer.<br/>Here is an item of interest:<br/><a href="https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Set-FolderIcon-0bd56629">https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Set-FolderIcon-0bd56629</a><br/>The above uses Power shell instead of <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/pure-1172806" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PURE">PURE</a> batch.  <br/> <br/>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  <br/>You can take a look at this batch script : <a href="https://pastebin.com/9ghxn9XQ"><strong>Customize_Icon_Folder.bat</strong></a> Quote from: Geek-9pm on March 01, 2020, 11:47:16 AM</p><blockquote>Sorry, I do not have a neat answer.<br/>Here is an item of interest:<br/><a href="https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Set-FolderIcon-0bd56629">https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Set-FolderIcon-0bd56629</a><br/>The above uses Power shell instead of pure batch.  <br/> <br/>EDIT: The program is not trivial, it requires additional effort to make it do what your want.
