I'm trying to change the appearance of my folders- the icon itself. How do I do it from a png or jpeg file? Anyone knows?:confused:

Yeah yeah... Read the question. I want a CUSTOM icon, no one of those lame ones provided by Microsoft. ;)

Can't add links yet, but just google "icon creator" and take your pick :)

Then use the steps mentioned above to apply it...

Yes. In fact, I already have them, but I haven't been able to change them. I want to know how to change them. :)

Thank you!

Too bad I have to purchase it... :(

If you know a free one, please let me know! I already have the icons, I just can't save them as .ico.... :shrug:
