@John: Stop using the read-only attribute

There's another way to have Windows show custom icons for folders without interfering with other operating systems: set the System attribute on the folder (only System; NOT Hidden). If you do this, the folder will still show up in Explorer with its custom icon, and should allow Linux and others to write to it, unlike currently...

I second

that.

I would agree

I would agree if Explorer didn't have the Option "Hide system folders" checked by default. Sad

Why can't Windows use standard regulations?

Photoshop? No… I use GIMP. No, It's not pirate. No, I didn't pay for it. It is possible! Because it's free. Yes, free! Ok! Stay with your pirated Photoshop!!! Idiot…

As long as the Hidden attribute is NOT set, folders with only the System attribute still show up in Explorer, regardless of the "Hide system files" option. Smiling I've tested it myself.
