I have my c# application where i create desktop.ini inside each folder to assign a custom icon to my folder. It works fine in windows 7.But in windows 10,it does not work.If I go to start menu path(C:\Users\user1\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs),there I am able to see the folder with custom icon,but in start menu view the folder always comes with default folder icon.
Please suggest if there is any way to do this.

Since Windows 8, the start menu has changed a lot... and adjustment were made a few times. If what you are trying is not working, there I would think it is not supported anymore as the main philosophy behind the new system is that the user should customize its menus and application should generally only add the main shortcut.
