:O How? I haven't found a way to do that yet...
It is possible, but it is a long way...

- Right click on any folder
- Click on "properties"
- Go to the third tab ("Change" or whatever it is in English)
- Choose to change the folder icon
- There you can select a DLL and you'll see all the available icons
- Once you've set the icon of your choice, open Desktop.ini in that folder (note: it is a hidden file) and look at IconIndex.
- You can delete the Desktop.ini file afterwards.


EDIT: Hmmm... apparently it doesn't give you the group icon index, whic is needed, but the icon index itself (starting at base 0). So, nope it doesn't work in all cases...

Note: what needs to be entered in Plus! is the group icon id, not the number of icon. See: CookieRevised's reply to messenger lock icon
