Need help with new version...

17 Dec 2017, 12:54

I'm trying to have windows explorer allow me to change a folder's cover, I searched the forum and found at least 3 answers for past versions of AHK, but none work now. I'm trying to get properties>customize>choose folder> (+ Tab key 9 times) and then the scrip to stop so I can choose a picture. Any help? Thanks...

On Windows 7, I can just create a desktop.ini file inside the folder with the following contents:

Code: Select all

[ViewState]
Mode=
Vid=
FolderType=Generic
Logo=C:\MyImage.png
This is the image selected from "Properties > Customize > Folder pictures > Chose File..."

The desktop.ini file can be hidden.
