I've actually been using Logo= since that's what the system puts in the file when manually creating the file. I'll try IconResource...

Hey, quick question.. in the desktop.ini are you using IconFile=.. or
IconResource=...   When I use IconFile it behaves the way you describe,
when I use IconResource, it keeps the icon.

Weird isn't it?  I may have mentioned this,too, but after I manually
change the Folder Picture via the properties window at the desktop
everything works great from within Livecode if I create folders of the same
name at the same path.  I'm naming my folders a single capital letter as I
test and I'm all the way up to 'M' since I've /used up/ all the previous
letters as names.

I think there's something going on in the registry.

I'm not positive, but I THINK when you put files into the folder, it makes
adjustments so that a) it still kinda shows your icon, while b) its trying
to show previews of whats in the folder.  I'm not sure this is what you're
seeing, but it sounds right.  I think there was a way around this
behavior,
(assuming my guess is right), but I'll have to try to remember what I saw.
(probably another setting in the desktop.ini)

Unfortunately, its not behaving the same for me.  Maybe its a random
feature!

  I see.  So there are three different states of this check box: empty,
checked and "squared".  That's a new thing for me.  I always thought
there
were just two states of both check boxes and radio buttons, but I think I
can handle that.  Thanks for laying it out.

On another note, I've discovered that while the desktop icon I assign to
a
folder is there when I first create the folder and set it all up, it
shrinks the instant I write or copy a file into the folder, either
through
Livecode or manually on the desktop.  Do you know why this might be
happening?

I only see the icon I assign when viewing by medium and large icons.
Could this have something to do with it?

  If you notice, when you set the read only aspect of the folder using the
shell, then look at the properties of the folder, the box isn't checked.
Its greyed out. This is because you set the folder itself.  When you use
the checkbox in the proprieties inspector for the folder, you're
actually
setting the rules for the contents of the folder, not the folder itself.

I suspect, if you create a folder, then check that box, then check its
attributes from the shell (attrib foldername) that the folder itself
won't
show R as one of its attribs. The checkbox isn't doing the same thing as
the shell call.

Freaks me out a bit actually!
