Thanks Clint , I tried some of those programs at Znet. I had some errors and
gave up. While I was playing around I opened PrintKey and Irfanview .
Using PrintKey to capture the area the icon would be made of, saving it to
Irfanview then changing it to an Icon extention worked. Now I have some nice
Icons on our desk top. PrintKey has the ability to go directly to an icon
format but it will not work for me, that is why I used Infranview . Thanks
again...........Charlie

If you want something to change the icons for FOLDERS,
www.hotfiles.com use to have a bunch of them. Type icons
in the searchbar. Be sure you don't d'load one that
times-out or is limited. Freeware is what you want, but
sometimes the shareware versions aren't limited or time-out
either. You just have look closely at the description, and
even then it doesn't always tell you. I believe I once used
one called 'easy icons'. Be sure they support your OS.

All you do when you want to change the properties of anything
(including icons) is right click and select 'properties'.
There is a 'change icon' button there. Depending on if it's
a shortcut or not, the change icon button may be on the first
tab, or 2nd tab, or other. You will be presented with a list
of icons. If they are limited, 'browse' and go to
shell32.dll in your windows system folder for a larger
selection. For folders, you cannot change their icon unless
you use a program. To change your cdrom or cdrw drive
shortcut icons, media must be in them first.
