Unable to change folder icon

[Riff88]

Hi,

I am unable to change my folder icons.

I right click on the FOLDER > PROPERTIES > CUSTOMIZE and CHANGE ICON
but whatever picture i choose the folder icon doesn't change.

I've tried renaming the picture to .ico but that doesn't help either. I put the picture into another new folder by itself but that doesn't help either.

I get the error message : "The file contains no icons"

any help is appreciated thank you.

Then maybe there is missing icon or system file corruption. Generally after choosing icon and refreshing will do the change.

you need a ico file in there to change it to, are the images you are trying png's or jpg's etc,
you can convert a png to an icon using an online converter easily,
