Folder Icons - Personalized

[twanny]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

When moving or copying data folders, the personalized icon is not
always visible, even after an F5 refresh. The Desktop.ini file are copied, but
the icons are still not visible.

This usually happens when copying files either from a CD/DVD or from a
Windows Briefcase, to another folder.

If the path to the icon is correct and the ini file is present, why does
this happen?

The folder needs to have it's read-only or system attribute set before Windows will look for the desktop.ini file.
