You don't need to go even that far, all you need is a Desktop.ini file in the folder containing something like: ---- CUT HERE ---- [.ShellClassInfo] IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll IconIndex=217 ---- CUT HERE ---- Note that Desktop.ini needs to have Hidden and System attributes set (FCREATE() can do this), and IIRC older VFP versions would barf when opening folders with such files. No problems with VFP 9, though. -- Dave Thayer Denver, CO _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
