    Here is a custom folder ícon I modified(changed color, converted from .png to .ico, and resized) that anyone can use for their custom cursors folder, preferably on a separate drive(recommended in case you need to clean install).

    Cursor folder.zip
    What it looks like:

    Horace, since you're the Master of Cursing Cursors, have you seen this at Winaero?:
    Cursor Commander

    Thanks for the folder icon!

    Yes I've seen it. This facilitates installation of cursors.
    It started when I was still adding stuff on EightForums.
    Sergey, the developer, found my cursors were worth adding to the program.

    Dowloaded and installed, it'll come in useful for cursor packs without installers or for your special additions like the busy cyclone.

    Custom Cursors

    I just created a Tile Pack for CursorCommander, you can give Sergey a copy for his program if you wish too.Screenshot of it on Start Menu

    What it looks like(the original?)

    ***
    You need to remove the shortcut in
    C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
    Before pinning the new tile

    I tested it out @Cliff S,
    When small it shows some blue text(?):

    Probably because I originally wanted text on the folder, then thought against it, and did something wrong in GIMP(I'm still a novice with it)

    No worries.
    It works; just that it's a bit jumbled-up.

    Your small icon layer isn't square so the system forces it to be square, making it unreadable.
    I'd go just for the icon, also for small previews, makes it simple.

    GIMP:
    Do you have this plugin?

    This is what you have:

    Custom Cursors [​IMG]

    Text is on a separate layer, needs to be placed properly and fused with the main folder layer.
    My guess is it took the text, as is, as a low-res version of the same icon: making it a multi-layered icon.

    I removed that text layer and posted the fixed version in the original post.
    It took some trial and error, but I got it.
    After getting rid of the layer I had to rebuild my Icon cache, as it kept showing the fudged version, even after replacing the bad icon.
