Hi nikos,

It's possible to add support to view the drives and folder icons as we see in Windows Explorer?

xplorer2:


Windows Explorer:

you must have used an icon changer program that isn't friendly to alternative file managers. If you change icons using the standard folder options everything will be ok

I used StyleXP...

Do you know a nice program to do the same that works?

As you can see, the new icon for "Control Panel" are showed....

Some works, others not...

nikos, are you doing something to support this?

[nikos]

not really...

I've heard good things about http://www.virtualplastic.net/scrow/iphile/ for changing icons.

Hi Bez,

and this program works with xplorer2?

I've not tried it, so I don't really know I'm afraid.

I was able to achive the folder icon change in xplorer2 by resource hacking shell32.dll.


I feel that there is some difference b/w the tree rendering logic of the regular windows explore and xplorer2. Unlike windows explore, here same icon is used for both closed and open folders.

Windows XP provides no way of specifing custom icon for substituted drives(DOS subst command) or network drives. It would be gr8, if custom icons for these drives could be specified within xplorer2. This will help to easily recognize drives if there are large no. of drives on your machine (20 in my case).

please try the shell docs and if you find it let me know!
