Hi All,

I wasn't sure where the best place to post this was, but figured this would be the best place.

Anyways, I have an external harddrive that I want to transfer folder icons to and use when it's hooked up to my macbook. The problem is when I change folder icons, in the directory a file called (Icon?) gets stored in it (viewed from terminal).

The problem is the external hard drive has a somewhat strict file naming convention and won't accept this file. I've tried renaming the file but then the folder icon disappears when viewed from finder.

What options do I have, the external hard drive is a Western Digital My Book 500Gb (and I would prefer to use it both on PC and Mac). Thanks.

Cheers,
ScKaSx
