Start Menu Folder Icons

[Guest weeerob]

How can you change the folder icons on the Start Menu in Windows Mobile 6? I'd like to change the icons in the same way that the Organiser folder is. I'm sure it must be easy.

It's not too difficult to do.

First you need a dll as an icon resource, read this thread, post 5 on how to make one. the thread was originally aimed at using cLaunch but the process of making the dll still applies.

then you need to put a .lnk file inside the folder that just points to the dll, and set the .lnk as hidden so it doesn't show in your start menu

Example:

Say you make your dll called 'icon.dll' and put it in \Program Files

make a new Notepad document with the following text: \Pogram Files\icon.dll,-0

save it as icon.lnk, then copy it to the Start Menu folder and change its attribute to hidden.

Open the Start Menu to see your new folder icon ;)

Brilliant that works a treat, I suspected it would be something like that but I missed the icon.lnk file when I was looking around. Cheers.
