I have noticed that different icon for share folder missing in windows 7. Is there any way to get them back. Sharing for folder is enable but it won't change the icon for that, appearance remain the same as the look of a standard folder. Any recommendations and suggestions are appreciated.

First, to create your own icon , use the free tool IconFX... You can even convert a image to icon, capture icons of other files etc, IcoFX allows users to create custom icons using a variety of tools.... Once you make your custom icon, save it... Go to your shared folder, right click and go to properties.. There go to customize... Go to change icon and set the icon as your custom icon....

To get back missing shared folder icon in Windows 7 you need change install software which allow user to add there own icon to the folder. Folder Marker is for your convenience and comfort in any kind of computer work. Use Folder Marker to mark your folders. One mouse-click and it becomes clear at once which documents have a high priority, and which of them have a normal or low priority.

You can't change the icons that are displayed for folders in the Console. . Right-click documents or folder which you want to share in network with other folder > Click the drop down > Select Everyone > Click Add > Click Read and change it to read/write > Click Share > Select My Documents Click Next > Sharing your documents may take awhile depending on how many have > Click Done.
