Klaus - it seems to me the issue here is the Dekstop.ini file's Attributes, not the .ico file. Even after I manually set it the .ico file's Attributes are still "A" while manually setting the folder's icon does change the Dsktop.ini's Attributes to "HSA"

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“)
## I meant of course:
get shell("attrib -HSA path/to/iconfile.ico“)

Best

Klaus
