Also, reducing the file size of these already small files is probably not worth it, if the system has to use more resources to decompress them before populating a tree or list view.įor creating the PNG files I recommend Photoshop or (the free) GIMP. I was going to post this as a bug but then I noticed that some well known image viewers don't support these type of ICO files either. XYplorer displays ICO files with PNG compression correctly on the List pane (in Details, Details with Thumbnails, List, Small and Large Icons views) on the Properties tab (icon preview) and when used on the XYplorer toolbar but shows a blank thumbnail in the List pane in Thumbnails view and on the Preview tab. Hint: Avoid saving ICO files with PNG compression (a variant introduced with Vista and an option in Icon Sushi). For converting PNGs to ICOs I use Icon Sushi rather than the more popular IcoFX. Icon Phile occasionally has some minor glitches but it still works on Win7. I can only wonder where you find this cool apps, but it's one more time i found your links very useful.

It's no longer developed but is free and still works on Win 7. Changing the file or folder item icons within a file manager doesn't make them show up in open or save dialogs, for example. XYplorer doesn't make changes to the registry. I have been using this set up for months without any problems. Similarly with individually customized folders. They are not set to read-only (but can be if you want).
Now when I call up any folder's properties it reads "Attributes: Read-only (Only applies to files in folder)" but it doesn't actually affect the attributes of files.

I changed the generic folder icons in Windows 7. I'm not sure what Microsoft's thinking is on this J_C. It required read-only status on folder to work
