Upon changing icon..

[wfoster]

Hi all.

Here's my issue, custom icons don't show up. I try to put a custom icon on a folder and it comes up the filetype it is. Like if it's an Apple icon I'm putting on a folder, it will just show .ICNS on top of "Preview" app icon.

I know how to change the icon, right click, get info and drag the new icon where the current one is in the info box, so whats up?

EDIT: I have tried a search and I couldn't find anything relating to this.

Do you have permission to change the icon, i.e. are you an admin?

Yes, I am an Admin.

You are copying the icon from the Get Info window of the new icon to the Get Info of the folder?

I'm trying to change my drive icons. Not folders.
