Peculiar Shell Extension & Favorites Folders Icon Customization Problem

I have a situation where I can't customize the icon of the Folders in
my Favorites Hierarchy unless I use the DOS ATTRIB command on each
folder (e.g. every time I create a new one) to assign the S attribute
so Desktop.in in the folder will be processed.

On my other machine the attribute is R not S but if I attrib +R
foldername it will go away as soon as I add a file to the folder in
question & the folder icon will revert to the plain vanilla file
folder icon.

Investigating I downloaded and installed:

ShellExView - Shell Extension Manager For Windows

www.nirsoft.netutilsshexview.html

I see two entries that concern me. Whether they have anything at all
to do with my Favorites Folders Icon problems is beyond me but the are
not on my other PC.

They have no Extension Name, no description, no version or product
name, no company

How are you trying to customize the Folders Icon ... using the Customize tab
under Properties on the Context Menu of the folder (right-click, Properties,
Customize, Change Icon)?
