Custom icon Utilities folder
Authored by: digitol on Apr 22, '03 01:36:01AM

This worked for me: Make new folder titled utilites on desktop, custom icon it, drag old items from original utilites folder to your newly customized one on desktop, drag back to where your original utilites folder is (APPLICATIONS/UTILITIES) should be in luck. :) LOBO

Custom icon Utilities folder

It does not work.

You simply can not have a custom icon on the Utilities folder
located in the Applications folder.

I guarantee that as soon as you restart, it will revert to the
original.

Custom icon Utilities folder
Authored by: GerryA on May 05, '03 06:20:28AM

You'll find that as soon as you run a system update that tries to modify anything in the Utilities folder that it will not recognize your new utilities folder... I tried this, and then discovered that I had a NEW utilities folder created by the update, with some utilities in it. I'm not sure whether I could simply have dragged these into MY utilities folder, and lived happily ever after... I'm still waiting for someone to tell me how to remove the alias arrow on a single folder (i.e. not system-wide). Any ideas? Incidentally, someone posted a hint on versiontracker suggesting that you create a Utilities folder in Applications, and then move the original Utilities folder into this new one, and that this would work for updates etc. It doesn't.
