Folder icons change when moved to another computer
 

I've changed the folder icon of several folders. When I move them onto a
data CD they remain as I changed them. But when I open the CD on another
computer they revert to the old yellow default folder. How do I get them to
keep the changes?

On another forum I was told to place that icon file into that particular
folder (no problem) and to create a "desktop.ini file" and make it a system
file (problem). I'm not a programmer. No one responds with exactly how that
is done.

Can anyone help with basic - "beginner" steps?
