But make it portrait! 
Just a FYI -- Your security software might flag the included Resource Hacker tool as malware. It's not, but many of them are overly paranoid.

Hm, Seems to have no effect here. I've unblocked all executables. I'm using the windows 10 style explorer if that's relevant.

I forgot to ensure it would work when run from a path that includes a space (fixed now).
But I see another issue. After downloading, both the main exe and ResourceHacker.exe are blocked. I'll have to add code to the main exe to unblock Resource Hacker. Ultimately, I'd like to eliminate the need for Resource Hacker, but coding an icon replacement in a mun file is... difficult.

Version 1.0.4 is now available for download. It fixes the issue where sometimes the icon was not replaced due to the target file being in use. It was a simple matter of killing Explorer before attempting to replace the icon.

Back to not working for me 
I renamed the folder to Folder Thumbnail Fix to fix my OCD if that's relevant, full path is "C:\Program Files\Folder Thumbnail Fix"

I just saw the same issue. Spaces in the path are fine and Explorer is first being closed, but sometimes the imageres.dll.mun file is still in use.Back to not working for me
What works for me is to sign out / sign in and try again (don't reboot).

Out of interest would the application of this utility cause SFC failures?

Not a failure per se, but it would repair the modified file.

Which you can then re-apply the changes after SFC is done. That's the tradeoff with these modified DLL or MUN files.

I guessed as much as i'd be repairing what i intentionally broke and be chasing my own tail. In future i'll check /repair the image and then re-apply the thumbnail fix.
