Transform Folder Icons
| Quote: | A lot can be said about the hierarchical filing structure in Windows XP. It's intuitively designed, neatly organized, and ingeniously flexible. It's also boring, consisting of one yellow folder after the other. Fortunately, WinXP lets you customize the yellow folders with your collection of digital images, including GIF, JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) and BMP (bit map) graphics. In most cases, the process is fairly easy, provided you have digital images stored locally on the Windows drive.
Open My Computer, right-click the folder you want to customize, and select Properties from the context menu. Choose the Customize tab, click the Choose Picture button, and browse your PC for the image you want to use to represent the folder. After you locate the image, highlight it and click the Open button. A Preview area shows you how the image will look on the folder. Click OK to activate the change.
At this point, the folder may still appear as a plain yellow folder icon in the My Computer window. To view the folder with its accompanying image, open the View menu and select the Thumbnails option. |
