Really dumb question about icons (1 Viewer)

[Kwayera]

How do I change a folder's icon (i.e. My Documents on the desktop) to show a 'personalised' icon rather than the Windows default? I knew how to do it before, but since reinstalling XP and thus loosing all my settings, I have forgotten and can't figure out how to do it.

Right click on the folder, properties, customize tab, change icon...

I hope that's right...

There is no customise tab!

Try my suggestion

Right click, properties, desktop tab, customize desktop,

...but isn't that to change the desktop wallpaper...

Theres a button down the bottom named "customize desktop" and it opens up another window thing. That has the change icon thingo.

Found it! I thought you meant right-clicking the folder, haha. You're a genius.

Dumb question indeed.
