Hi All,
I have a Folder on D:\Master
Inside Master there are sub folders.
The nested folders go very deep, some are 15 deep.
Over the years I have customized the folders.
I have a icon.ico and a desktop.ini file in every single folder.
What I would like to do is replace these icons with another icon.
I want to delete every icon.ico and desktop.ini file from every folder.
And replace it with another Desktop.ini file.
[.ShellClassInfo]
IconResource=C:\Windows\ICONS_used_on_this_PC\Laptop2.ico,0
This Desktop.ini file will be copied into every folder,
So that every folder looks the same inside the Master folder.
I need help in copying the new Desktop.ini file into every single folder ( 2000 folders) ?
I know how to do the deleting part.
Thank You.

Re: How to use Delete & Replace to All Folders ?
One way to do it:
- In File Explorer (or Everything), right-click the desktop.ini you want to copy and select Copy
- In Everything, search for:
(this will find all folders that contain a desktop.ini)
- Select all folders ('CTRL + A')
- Menu:Edit > Paste
- Done.
- In File Explorer (or Everything), right-click the desktop.ini you want to copy and select Copy
- In Everything, search for:
Code: Select all
D:\Master\ child:desktop.ini
- Select all folders ('CTRL + A')
- Menu:Edit > Paste
- Done.
