Folder Icons (Desktop.ini)

G

Guest

For easy recognition, all folders in my data are assigned an Icon.
The Desktop.ini files in each folder point to a specific Icon Folder
which is never moved, so that the icons are always visible in Explorer View.

What baffles me is that in moving or copying data folders, the icon is not
always visible, even after an F5 refresh. The Desktop.ini file are copied, but
the icons are still not visible. This requires the laborious right-clicking
each folder Properties, change Icon etc. Then and only then the icons are
visible again.

(N.B. this usually happens when copying files either from a CD/DVD or from a
Windows Briefcase, to another folder)
If the path to the icon is correct and the ini file is present, why does
this happen?
