The desktop.ini file is a hidden Windows operating system configuration settings file located in every folder and used to store information about the arrangement of a Windows folder. Essentially, if the layout or settings for a folder are changed, a desktop.ini file is automatically generated to save those changes. When you create a new folder in Windows it is created with the standard folder icon, one common use of the desktop.ini file is to use to it set a custom icon for a folder, however this is not the only thing that it is used for. The desktop.ini file can contain alot of attributes but the following custom attributes are the most common:
ConfirmFileOp : Set this entry to 0 to avoid a “You Are Deleting a System Folder” warning when deleting or moving the folder.
IconFile : If you want to specify a custom icon for the folder, set this entry to the icon’s file name. The .ico file extension is preferred, but it is also possible to specify .bmp files, or .exe and .dll files that contain icons.
IconIndex : Set this entry to specify the index for a custom icon. If the file assigned to IconFile only contains a single icon, set IconIndex to 0.
InfoTip : Set this entry to an informational text string. It is displayed as an infotip when the cursor hovers over the folder. If the user clicks the folder, the information text is displayed in the folder’s information block, below the standard information.

Hi,
You can earn a lot of money when You create a software that stores every icon, modified or not, on a place you want. In case of Mr. Gates will lends a helping hand with his useful updates all the way, you can spend the rest of the week, restoring this mess.
So many people long for different icons.
So many people want to create their own icon-packs.
So many people love Bill Gates with all their hearts, but weapons are not always and everywhere allowed.
To make the long story short.
1. Create a software, everybody can put icons in für folders and extensions and is able to built in a simple way his individual icon-pack. Think about hidden icons für "New Folder" or something like that. Nobody knows where all these hidden icons are stored on system.
2. Create a software to store every icon-setting for the next update to come soon…
By the way, CusomizerGod is more than awful:
This software destroys icons and whole settings for all over Windows.
I use the oldfashoned ExtMan and an icon-pack from Deviant, because that is the only way to survive after a new Windows-Release had restored setting to their default.
@RR
Sorry, the program does not support this.
Is is possible to backup all "desktop.ini" for a given drive, and the restore when neded?
If you follow McAfee SiteAdvisor and Panda Anti-Virus… well, then don’t look after any tuning or admin tools, made by "third party", independent developpers, that are not part of the bigdata corporation club…
How do I localize a program?
The necessary utility! It is a pity that there is no option for localization.
yes it is false positive they may remove it Within 3-5 days

This is triggering red DANGEROUS SITE and MALWARE/EXPLOITS alerts on both McAfee SiteAdvisor and Panda Anti-Virus.
VirusTotal shows 0/64 detection’s, so it’s probably a false positive, but it’s being triggered by something.
(I’ve used other sordum.org small tools for years without any issues. Things like ReIcon and Restart Explorer. Simple and effective tools – Thanks, Sordum!)
