... it may be worth checking out a macro record/playback utility. ...-MilesAhead (February 09, 2021, 03:19 PM)

Actually I only figured I'd do one folder at a time, so yea a macro makes sense. 

I did some googling, and it appears that Win 10 can capture a file's path via Shift+RightClick.  I'm trying to simulate that in AutoHotkey.  Windows doesn't seem to be seeing the "Shift" part though...  :- /


--- Code: Autohotkey ---!^g::sleep, 1000Send, {LButton Down}sleep, 100Send, {LButton Up}sleep, 100Send, {Shift Down}Send, {RButton Down}sleep, 100Send, {Shift Up}Send, {RButton Up}return
EIDT:  This works!


--- Code: Autohotkey ---!^g::sleep, 1000Clicksleep, 100Send, {Shift Down}sleep, 100Click, Rightsleep, 100Send, {Shift Up}return
EDIT2:
This is the most kludgy thing I've seen in a while...  And its unreliability attests to this!  LOL
I got tiried of working on it.  I might try to finish it later.


--- Code: Autohotkey ---#NoEnv ; For security#SingleInstance force#Persistent ;Navigate to file in Win Explorer.  Hover mouse over file.!^g::sleep, 1000Click ;Selects filesleep, 100Send, {Shift Down}sleep, 100Click, Right ;Pops up special context menu with "Copy as path."sleep, 100Send, {Shift Up}Send aaa{Enter} ;Need correct number of a's to select Copy as path.sleep, 100 Send, {Alt Down}sleep, 100send, {Up} ;Tells Wind Explorer to browse up one level.sleep, 100Send, {Alt Up}sleep, 100 Send, {AppsKey} ;Parent folder will be selected.  Shows context menu. sleep, 100Send, {Up} ;Goes to bottom memu item (which is Properties.)sleep, 100Send, {Enter}Send, {Shift Down}sleep, 100send, {Tab} ;ShiftTabTab highlights General tab in Properties dialog.sleep, 100send, {Tab}sleep, 100Send, {Shift Up};Still needs to ArrowLeft 5x to highlight Customize tab.;Then Alt+i to change icon.

Not sure if this is what you wanted: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/iconsext.html

Never mind... Didn't fully read your post.

MilesAhead:
Maybe one of these freewares will be easier than coding it yourself?  :)

Any takers?   :P

Using skwire's info, this should work if you go via Send To or the context menu if you add it in the registry ... can't test it, I'm sitting in a car  :P
