I
heve whished to custumize the appearance of the folders under Windows
for a long time. I had taken part in the tests of a software which made
it possible a long time ago. It is Icon
Magician. This software approximately answered my request but unfortunately,
this sofware is a shareware... Change Icon is not the first utility which uses the feature of Internet Explorer to custumize the appearance of a folder. I tried to make it as simple as possible and most functional. I have worked so that the selection of the icons is simple. I have also worked so that it is not necessary to restart Windows to see the modification of the icon of a folder. That was not easyiest thing ! I hope that you'll appreciate Change Icon. Please send me all remarks at pmdevigne@nordnet.fr. Internet Explorer 4 or over needed. If you haven't got these versions, you can try Icon Magician. |

Here is the main window of Change Icon : Click on an item to see its description :
|
v1.2.1 (05/2000)
Solve a problem with the english version for modifying drives' icons.
v1.2 (04/2000)
New : drives letters icons are now managed.
Ini file as been modified for the system consider a modified folder
as a normal folder (by example, no confirmation is displayed when
you want to move the folder).
There was a bug under Windows 2000 when you want to drop a folder
directly on the Change Icon exe file.
v1.1 (11/1999)
You can see icons inside a file directly in the browse window.
It's a cool thing, isn't it ?
An history for last used file has been added. The lastest file used
goes in first place.
A Rebuild button has been created. When icons are mixed up, click
on it, and all is back to normal.
Drag & drop has been imroved : you can drop a folder or a file
anywhere in the window.
Bugs correction:
Sometimes, desktop.ini was not deleted when you click OK instead of
Apply button.
Some files could hang Change Icon because they contain empty icons
(shdocvw.dll by example). I had to change the way icons are extracted
for those files.
When you used (very) intensively Change Icon without closing its
window, icons were not still correctly displayed.
Change Icon understand environment variables.
v1.0 (07/1999)
- 1st public release
Allow to modify the appearance of each folder in explorer.
Drap&drop supported.
Show a preview of the selected icon in big and small format.
Tested with I.E.4 et I.E.5, Windows 98 & Windows 2000.
