WWW Folderico Com How To Customize Folderico Menu HTML
One of the distinctive features of FolderIco is its ability to quickly change the default folder
icons to something more meaningful and self-explanatory. That's really great, and FolderIco
comes with a bunch of predefined folder icons already available in the FolderIco Explorer
context menu.
Now, what if you want to add some more icons to this menu or replace some of the default
ones? Here is how you can customize the Explorer right-click menu and add your own
icons to the "Change Folder Icon" menu.

Right-click the folder you want to customize to bring up the Explorer context menu and
select the "Change Folder Icon" to see all currently available icons. Click the More icons
item. You should see this dialog then:
Before we can add custom icons to the Explorer menu, we need to load them into
FolderIco first. You can add icons to existing icon libraries or create your own.

If you want to create your own icon library, just select the "Library->Create New Library"
menu item.
To add an image to the library, click the Add Icon button to load image you want. Note that
the actual image format doesn't matter to FolderIco, the app automatically converts any
supported formats to ICO and resizes them accordingly.
Since we need to embed our own icon to the menu, select the "Edit->Menu Editor"
command.

At the left panel, there's a representation of the current right-click menu. The right part
displays all available icons. In this dialog you can rename existing icons, add new ones,
even add new sub-categories to stack similar icons together.

To add a new icon, drag-n-drop the icon you want from the right side and place it where it
fits the best in the menu order.

The upper buttons allow you to delete an unnecessary menu item, move it up or down
inside its parent category or add a divider.
Save all changes done, and test if the menu functions as planned. Right-click a folder in any
Windows Explorer window and try to apply the icon we have just added to that folder.
Looks cool, eh?
