Is there any way I can change the icon for my folders? In a large MVC project with a number of areas, it would be nice to see that Controllers, Model and Views have a different icon (or text).
Folder with M or V or C would be nice. I can create those if I know how to substitue them in. Even on a project by project based change.
Here is a screenie showing that some system type folders have different icons.

You can choose a custom icon for any file or folder using your own pictures, icons downloaded from the web, or the icon from another file or folder.
Navigate to the folder that you want to change the icon for and right-click it. From the context menu, select Properties. On the Properties window, go to the Customize tab and click the Change icon button at the bottom. In the window that opens, click the Browse button and select the ICO file that you want to use.
Right click on a folder and select "Properties". Click the "Customize" tab to find some options you can change. One option is to apply a picture to a folder, which will appear in Thumbnails view.
Solution 1: Turn on the visibility of desktop icons It's possible that your desktop icon visibility settings were toggled off, which caused them to disappear. This can be human error or caused by an application you recently used or installed.
according to the following post, it is possible, but you will need to create your own project subtype: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/vsx/thread/7403bcaf-6389-4a9f-b64b-cd7e297027aa
the microsoft help page for the sample can be found at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb165055(VS.80).aspx
and the sample itself is in the VS 2010 SDK SP1: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=21835
there may be another way to do it with the new managed extensions, however, i did not locate samples for this for VS 2010.
