Your computer's default icons are adequately designed to display their function but staring at the same images every day can become boring. Fortunately, you are given the option to customize your icons to whatever type of picture you want. If you have a set of icons you can customize each folder's appearance without the need for any special utilities or programs.
Download the cupcake icons you want to replace your folders with if you don't already have some on your computer. You can find a number of icon sets on sites like FreeIconsWeb.com and IconArchive.com. Note that the icons you download need to be in .ICO format.
Right click on a folder you want to customize, then click "Properties." Click the "Customize" tab, then click the "Change Icon" button at the bottom of the screen."
Click "Browse," then select the folder of the cupcake icons you downloaded. Once this is done you can select from all the icon images in that folder. Select the one you want to represent that folder, then click "OK." Click "OK" again in the folder properties window and your icon will be changed.
Tips
- If for any reason you have trouble with your icons, go back to the folder selection window, then click "Restore Defaults" at the bottom next to "OK."
