I have “Little Green Folder”, it makes the Windows Explorer folder icon turn green for the current folder (instead of an open yellow folder, it is an open green folder). It rarely works any more, so I did some research.
Explorer.exe… does not work
Explorer.scf… works, but is always at c: instead of a specified directory (in fact, none of explorer.exe’s switches seem to work)
A program called Folder Guide… WORKS, when launched from Desktop (but not from an Explorer windows that does not have a green folder)! Folder Guide has a shortcut pointing to c:\tmp and it opens there and the icon for the open folder is green, and follows as I select other folders.
My question is why (and how) does Little Green Folder work with it?
Little Green Folder is an icon file and a text file of instructions that say ‘put greenfolder.icl somewhere, run MyProperties, select folders, select the open yellow folder, select Change Icon, browse to where you put greenfolder.icl and select it, select Rebuild Icon cache’.
Resource viewers show the yellow open folder has been replaced with the open green folder, but only explorer.scf and Folder Guide seem to use it.
Any ideas?
