Icon Change on Application Folder or Desktop Folder

Hi!
I am new to the Advanced Installer and just tested the free download version. Now I am wondering whether it would be possible to change the application icon (Start | Programm | Application (folder, with a number of application files on next lower level) and/or the desktop folder icon (again, with a number of application files on next lower level).

This may be a trivial question and it may be due to utilising the free download. However, I have tried to get information from the Help Utility, etc. and could not find the deisred answer.

Thank you in advance for your helping input.
regards,
Pepe.

Hi,

You can change the icon for shortcuts. Create a shortcut in "Application Shortcut Folder", "Desktop" or "Startup" folder and you can change its icon.

If this is not what you want then please give me more details.

Regards,
Gigi

Hi Gigi!
I have made screen shuts of the adavanced installer and the desktop/startmenu:
In the installer, there are copies of shortcuts in `Start Menu | Programs | Factum | .....` and in
`Desktop | Factum | ...` (red arrows point at folders)

In the second screenshut you see the installed folders (green arrows) and the shortcuts - I would like to assign Factum icons to these folders. This the problem, the actual shortcuts icons are fine - I AM UANBLE TO ASSIGN ICONS IN THE INSTALLER SOFTWARE TO THE FOLDERS.

Hi,

Create a shortcut to an external file and choose a folder for "Shortcut Target" (for example: [APPDIR]). In the "New Shortcut" dialog you can choose an icon for the shortcut.

Gigi
