Klaus - thanks for the idea. Just to check my method of concatenation,
the exact command I'm using is:
get shell("attrib -HSA "&desktopIniPath&"") -- where
desktopIniPath is the path to the file
It doesn't work and I see no change in the file's Attributes, Type or
Size. Livecode returns nothing in the result.
Several other oddities I've neglected to mention; if I manually set a
folder's icon (in the Properties window) I can then get Livecode to work
as expected as long as I delete the folder I manually set and re-create
it in Livecode (same name, same path). Seems like something's going on
with the registry. Also, after creating the desktop.ini file from
within Livecode I can /see /the file on the desktop even though I've got
"Don't show hidden files, folder or drives" checked in Folder Options.
If the system creates the desktop.ini file it's hidden.

Mike,
I've been wrestling with this again this morning and I'm unable to get the icon
to display at all, let alone concern myself with paths.
I'm using revCopyFolder to create the folder I want by duplicating an existing folder with the .ico
file in it. RevCopyFolder duplicates the folder to another location and it includes the .ico file
in the folder but it excludes the dektop.ini file. I can create one from within Livecode but it
doesn't work. I can see why, too. If I right-click it, choose Properties and go to the Details
tab I can see that the Desktop.ini file I made in Livecode has Attributes of "A" while
the one Windows 8.1 make (when I manually set a folder icon in the folder's properties window) has
Attributes of "HSA". Sounds like some sort of housing authority:)
I've tried using RevCopyFile to duplicate the Desktop.ini file with the proper
attributes to my new folder but it also fails. Evidently Windows 8.1 blocks
this, even though there's no other Desktop.ini file present yet.
So at this point I'm stuck unless I can find some way within Livecode to set the
Attributes of the Desktop.ini file I create to "HSA".
Any ideas?
can’t you use something like (out of my head!):
...
get shell("attrib -HSA path/to/inifile.ini“)
…
Best
Klaus
