Re: Folder Icon Change

Hi Claustrawberry,

If you look at the properties for these folders from the C:\Users\(User Name) location instead of from the Start menu, you will see the same Customize tab as in the tutorial. It should change the folder icon at both locations though.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Question Re: Folder Icon Change

How can I change the icons for apps such as itunes, which don't offer an icon change option on the personalization pop-up?

Re: Folder Icon Change

Hello Tiggy, and welcome to Vista Forums.

If you mean just for the iTunes program file, then you can create a shortcut of it and change the shortcut icon to whatever you like then.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Smile Re: Folder Icon Change

Thanks, I think that should sort it out. Will that work for other programs like my internet security thingy, which has the ugliest icon ever? And while I'm at it, I'm not sure how to make my trash can icon change either, I'm sure I'm just being stupid, but can you help?

Re: Folder Icon Change

No problem Tiggy, (See my signature about questions )

Yep, it will work on any shortcut that you create.

For the Recycle Bin, you can use this to change the icon.
