I have a ico on my desktop named rawr.ico.
I opened the desktop folder in file explorer:
I atomically overwrite this file with new ico data. I use this algorithm:
I linked it rather then pasting here, as I don't think this is the problem.
After I do this, the icon on the desktop doesn't update. Double clicking the icon to open it in file viewer, shows the icon contents updated.
As seen in this image:
I tried to get the desktop to update by running this:
SHChangeNotify(SHCNE_ASSOCCHANGED, SHCNF_IDLIST, NULL, NULL);
This refreshes the whle icon cache. I notice icons in my taskbar flash. However on desktop stays the same visually.
I tried to update the item locally:
SHChangeNotify(SHCNE_UPDATEITEM, SHCNF_PATHW, &wcsPath, NULL);
However the icon does not visually update.
Anyone have any ideas whats up?
