RevCopyFolder duplicates the folder to another location and it includes the .ico file in the folder but it excludes the dektop.ini file.  I can create one from within Livecode but it doesn't work.  I can see why, too.  If I right-click it, choose Properties and go to the Details tab I can see that the Desktop.ini file I made in Livecode has Attributes of "A" while the one Windows 8.1 make (when I manually set a folder icon in the folder's properties window) has Attributes of "HSA".  Sounds like some sort of housing authority:)

## I meant of course:
get shell("attrib -HSA path/to/iconfile.ico“)
