1. Right-click an empty area of the desktop and choose "Properties".

2. When the "Display Properties" multi-tabbed dialog box appears, click the "Desktop" 
tab.

3. Click the "Customize Desktop" button.

4. A "Desktop Items" dialog box will appear. Make sure the "General" tab is selected.

5. Click on an icon to change:

* My Computer
* My Documents
* My Network Places
* Recycle Bin (full)
* Recycle Bin (empty) 

6. Click "Change Icon".

7. If you like one of the available icons, choose one and click "OK". Or, you can 
browse your system for more icons including those you may have downloaded from the 
Internet. You can also use the icons embedded in executable files, DLLs, etc.

For a bunch of icons, enter this next to the "Browse" button and press ENTER:

%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll

8. Click "OK" on the dialog boxes to close them.
