I have XP and ran into the same problem as in 2k. There is no folder options under view. The suggestion works for the desktop, but how can I also change the icon located in my start menu? It is the same as the original on my desktop in that the Internet Properties window is brought up, which includes no way to change IE's icon. Thanks in advance.
