I want to make a program that runs as a service and changes the folder icon based on its foldercontent, like svn does. And I also want to change the icon and the behavior of a folder if the name is example.someextension .
How may I programmatically achieve this and which namespaces or libraries could do that?
You can try to use:
DirectoryInfo,
Directory
to get directory name, subdirectories, files in directory.
File,
FileInfo
to get file name, content, extensions.
Tutorial

And this
question
to change folder icon.
Good luck
