You should run in some terminal, like cmd.exe and Power Shell.

You are ought to run in the location of the programs' directory. Otherwise the res_ico would be located at somewhere else.

You may ignore this notice if you are really sure about what you are doing and if it's up to your expectation.

Main programs

The undering programs are aimed to manage the icon used in the specific folder. (Not in place.)

Program Desc.
apply_ico Apply prepared resources the specific folder, or even the subfolders.
clean_ico Clean the .ini and the corresponding, or all instead, .ico of some folders given.
enable_ico Enable the configuration existed.
disable_ico Disable the configration existed.

v1.0.0 operates with R(Read-only) attribute. But versions after v1.0.0 no longer do this.


If you're targeting only one folder, the undering programs will be the best choice for you. These programs are the most easy to use ones for this case:

Program Desc.
apply_inplace Apply prepared resources already stored in the specific folder. (all *.ico and desktop.ini)
cancel_inplace Cancel the applied resources already stored in the specific folder. (all *.ico and desktop.ini)

Store the desktop.ini and the corresponding *.ico in the specific folder, and then run apply_inplace to apply the resources. If you want to cancel the resources, run cancel_inplace.

Assistant programs

Program Desc.
extract_command Extract resouces from an already customized folder.

res_ico

Files prepared in res_ico and template_of_res_ico are hidden by default. This is because the files are extracted from a folder customized by the tool of icofx.

To show them, change the settings of explorer.

To list the items, execute this command in the cmd (example):

dir /A:A res_ico

To del the items, execute this command in the cmd (example):

del /F /A:A res_ico\*
