desktop.ini keeps getting overwritten.
Under my music folder I have set the folder icon for each
album folder using right click properties customize change icon. I have set the same icon for dozens of artists folders with no problem except for one folder. I set the icon as the same as the rest and it looks OK. Then after awhile when opening my music folder the icon setting for this one folder has gone and it has reverted back to the basic yellow folder. The desktop.ini file has lost the icon setting lines. After running the customization the desktop.ini file gains these two lines: IconFile=%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Icons\iCandy\folders\My Music XP 2.ico IconIndex=0 This is the same for all the album folders. But in just this one folder the two icon lines get erased. I have tried moving these lines to be lines 2&3 instead of the bottom two; made the desktop.ini file readonly; but somehow this one folder keeps getting reset and the icon lines removed from desktop.ini. Very odd, what could be doing this? Thanks David |

not sure what would cause it, but you could try editing the permissions on the file and denying
'Write Data' and 'Append Data' permissions to all users & groups including yourself. Keith "David ..M.." wrote in message ...
