that's a request for setting any icon to a windows folder... (Misc issues)

Windows explorer doesn't show any icon set in the folder's "desktop.ini" file without the "system" attribute set to the folder.

That's something any icon-to-folder app has to do since Windows XP -Frankly, I don't remember if that was also possible on Windows 9x-.

File system folders are commonly displayed with a standard icon and set of properties, which specify, for instance, whether the folder is shared. You can customize the appearance and behavior of an individual folder by creating a Desktop.ini file for that folder.
