changing a folders custom picture

[jeremiah johnson]

Hi everyone.

I'm going to write an app in C# that changes a folder's custom picture
to some kind of picture that represents how much 'stuff' is inside the
folder...

.... as soon as I can figure out how to change this:

http://naikrovek.org/stuff/folderPicture.png

programmatically.

does anyone know how to do this in C#?

Thanks!

I think you can use SHGetSetFolderCustomSettings( ) API to get and then set
it. Not sure if the Shell object expose method/properties to control this.

HRESULT SHGetSetFolderCustomSettings(
LPSHFOLDERCUSTOMSETTINGS pfcs,
LPCTSTR pszPath,
DWORD dwReadWrite
);
