This is really interesting. I'm now using the following:
get shell("attrib +HSA "&desktopIniPath&"")
get shell("attrib +h "&desktopIniPath&"")
get shell("attrib +r "&desktopIniPath&"")
and having some success. When I check the Dsktop.ini file's attributes
I now see them set to "HA". This is progress but I'm still missing the
"S" in the HSA and not seeing the icon as a result.
Any ideas on what that S means and how to set it? I'm using Window 8.1.

Looks like setting the folder to read only does NOT make it impossible to
write into the folder. If you use the properties dialog, that is not the
case, so using attrib is the way.

h is the hidden attribute. so +h should hide it. Weird. Going to try it
real quick (win 7)..
Ok. I got the attribs to set by doing them one at a time. Not sure why 2
at once doesn't work.
I also read that the folder must be set to read only.
SO I did attrib +r to the folder and poof. Icon.

Mike - I've eliminated all spaces in the path but thanks, that's always a
good thing to check.
At this point nothing I do flips the Attributes from "A" to "HSA". I've
changed the minus to a plus sign and tried Klaus' concatenation syntax but
still no change in the Attributes.
Maybe I should also be changing the visibility of the file first. When I
set the folder icon manually the system does that. Do you know of a way to
change visibility via the shell function?

oh yep, and as klaus says, if theres a space somewhere in the path,
you'll
need to force quotes around it, or use shortfilepath() to obviate the
need.

Hi Ray,
did you try with QUOTES?

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
get shell("attrib -HSA "& QUOTE & desktopIniPath & QUOTE)
It doesn't work and I see no change in the file's Attributes, Type or
Size. Livecode returns nothing in the result.

Best
