    Folder Icons

    Hi i found this site Jm - Art Studio :: Dock Icons . It has some good icons the ones i was interested in was the Blue/Green folder icons similar to the ones installed on my Vista , I downloaded them extracted as advised everything OK but when i tried to us them IE Customise/Change icon/browse route they don't show up in the folder which is strange because i can open the folder normally and see them , they are in PNG format could this be the problem if anybody manages to use them or can shed some light on why i can't please let me know

    Cheers Dave

    When you browse from the change icon option, by default you can browse only exe, dll or ico files, you cant use png files i think.

    Dave,
    If you absolutely want to use such "icons", you have a lot of freewares allowing you to convert png to ico files.
