Description

I have created a new Libraries folder called "Games" under C:\Users\*Username*\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Libraries. Within this Library Folder, I have given it one folder location called Game Clients and a second one called Saved Games (which is normally built-in with Windows).
When pinning the Games Library folder to the side panel (Quick Access), the name and icon does NOT come up as the name Games with its icon, but rather Game Clients with that folder's icon instead.
When opening the incorrect pinned item, it does correctly take me to the Games folder that shows both contents from Game Clients and Saved Games... it is simply the name and icon for which it is pinned is incorrectly showing.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Go to your Libraries folder: C:\Users\*Username*\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Libraries
  2. Create a new Library folder and call it whatever
    You can also right-click Libraries on the sidebar and {+ Create New **Library}
  3. Right-Click your new Library folder and select {Open Properties}
  4. Select the Library tab, then ADD at least one destination, then SAVE.
  5. Right-Click on the Library folder and {Pin to Sidebar}.
  6. You should see that the name and icon (if using different icons)

Is it specific to this custom icon, or does the issue occur if you try with a different icon as well?

The icon doesn't matter, because the pinned Library will always take the first folder in its Location list.

Here is the context for the image provided:

  1. Created a new Library called NVIDIA Captures (plural).
  2. Created a new standard folder on the Desktop called Test Folder.
    Customized to include a different Icon
  3. Added 2 locations to NVIDIA Captures Library = Test Folder and NVIDIA Capture (singular)
  4. Pinned NVIDIA Captures to the Sidebar
  5. Name and Icon do not match Library, but instead the first added location = Test Folder

Alrighty. Just expect multiple posts that are very similar revolving around this.

What happens if you pin these locations from File Explorer and then come back to Files?
